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
Recioto, a wine of ancient tradition, gave rise to the production of Amarone and is one of the most important dessert wines in the Italian wine scene.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Intense and deep ruby red, it is very elegant and complex in its rich notes of fruit under spirits, with cherry in evidence, over hints of vanilla and sweet spices.
The palate is ample and harmonious, with a well-balanced sweetness and a lingering finish.
Storage time:
4-13 years
Vinification
Drying of the grapes for 4 months. Temperature-controlled fermentation in steel.
