Estate

Tommasi is historically and today a standard bearer of the Amarone appellation, and one of the most important quality producers in the Veneto. The family-run estate was founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi in the village of Pedemonte, which lies in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region that extends north-west of Verona. The family owns 234 acres in Valpolicella Classico, making them the single largest land owners in the area. Over the years they have steadily expanded their holdings in other areas of the Veneto, and now own a total of 370 acres. As has been the case since the winery’s establishment, the family works only with grapes they grow, an important quality decision and reflection of their deep connection to the Valpolicella soil.

Vineyard

The grapes are sourced from three of most prestigious vineyards in Valpolicella Classico owned by the Tommasi family: Conca d'Oro, La Groletta and De Buris.

Vinification

This wine is vinified in stainless steel for about 9 days, then passed through the warm Amarone grape skins, in the typical “Ripasso" method, for about 12 days. This process, only employed in particular years, imparts a rich character and personality to the wine. The wine is aged for 18 months in Slavonian oak barrels of 65 hl.
