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
The Ca' Florian Amarone Riserva wine from the Tommasi winery comes from a selection of the best grapes such as Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella, naturally dried, from the Cru Ca' Florian, one of the Tommasi family's most prestigious vineyards. This is a great Veneto wine with its sumptuous complexity, impeccable elegance and expressive power.
Organoleptic characteristics:
It has an intense ruby red colour with garnet hues. The nose offers notes of ripe fruit, in particular morello cherry and a balanced sensation of toasted wood
and cocoa. The taste is full, harmonious, long, with a great softness and balance between acidity and tannins. Aftertaste of marasca cherries under spirits, enhanced by a very pleasant tannic texture, which fades towards a finish of excellent persistence.
Storage time:
10-20 years
Vinification
pressing and slow fermentation for 30 days in oak vats, using only indigenous yeasts.
