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

Intense ruby red with garnet highlights, the nose offers an elegant and very complex bouquet, with notes of very ripe red fruit, cherry, blackberry and plum and spicy nuances of liquorice and bitter cocoa.
