| Description: |
 |
Tommasi Viticoltori (Tommasi vintners) is a family firm founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi and today the estate is run by the 4th generation of family. From grandfather Giacomo's tiny vineyard, the Tommasi estate has grown steadily and now extends over 135 hectares of hillside vineyard blessed by mother nature, not only by a magnificent landscape, but more importantly by its perfect suitability for grapes.
The family owns exceptionally well situated estates for the production of high quality white wine in the D.O.C. regions of Soave and near Lake Garda for Lugana, Custoza and Bardolino (red wine). In addition, it has vineyards in Valdadige, a valley created by the Adige river in the mountains north of the province of Verona.
This wine is produced from the three Valpolicella classic grapes Corvina Veronese (65%), Rondinella (30%) and Corvinone (5%). Great care is taken with the grapes as they are placed on small open racks and left to dry by cool breezes of autumn and winter until the following February before they are used in the winery.
Aged over 36 months in Slovenian oak and a further year in the bottle has produced an intense ruby red coloured wine. A warm, ripe nose that is both intense and refined gives way to a complex, smooth, full bodied, characteristic wine. The palate is exceptionally intense with chocolate and coffee background that is superbly balanced with power and smoothness.
