Cellar
The history of the Tommasi Group began in 1902 with a husband, a wife and a dream.
The historical context of the Belle Époque gives an idea of the frivolous and light breeze that swept through the city of Verona when Giacomo Battista Tommasi married Augusta in 1902 and went to live with his family.
While continuing to cultivate the family's land in Valpolicella, Giacomo already saw wine, no longer as a simple drink, but as a superior product for social occasions and celebrations.
That dream is now a family business based in Valpolicella Classica and estates throughout Italy. The fourth generation is at the helm. Each of the nine siblings and cousins preside over precise roles in the company and together manage the business and strategies, leading to the entry of the fifth generation.
Description
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a wine par excellence from the Tommasi family. Elegance and structure, softness and complexity make it a unique wine.
Organoleptic characteristics:
A ruby red colour of excellent intensity, the nose reveals intense and clear-cut hints of very ripe cherries, sour cherries and wild berries followed by fresh and slightly spicy tones.
In the mouth it is dry and soft at the same time, enveloping and with great balance thanks to the excellent balance between acidity and tannins. The entire taste is enhanced by a very pleasant tannic texture, which fades towards a finish of excellent persistence, with light hints of red fruit.
Storage time:
4-10 years
Vinification
Fermentation in stainless steel for 25 days at a temperature of 25/30°.
