| 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 comes from the family vineyard 'RAFAEL' which is perfectly situated in the most prestigious hills of the region, produces what may be the best grapes for the production of 'Valpolicella Classico Superiore'. The combination of careful attention to the cultivation of this ancient vineyard, rigorous selection of grapes and their meticulous vinification, all contribute to the creation of this extraordinary wine in understandably limited quantities.
This wine is a blend of Corvina Veronese (65%), Rondinella (30%) and Molinara (5%) and spends 18 months in Sloavian Oak barrels before being released. This has produced an intense ruby red coloured wine with a rich spicy black pepper nose showing a hint of truffle. This red is fairly intense and spicy revealing sweet cherry flavours on the rich, full, warm palate giving way to a leather finish.
