Tommasi Viticoltori 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 . In addition, it has vineyards in Valdadige, a valley created by the Adige river in the mountains north of the province of Verona. Ripasso Tommasi is the unique result of refermenting Tommasi Valpolicella Classico Superiore, on the warm dried grape skins from which Tommasi Amarone has been pressed. This process, used only in rare vintage years, imparts the richness of character and personality of a great wine to an already superior wine. Intense ruby red coloured wine blended from Corvina Veronese , Rondinella as well as Molinara grape varieties, and aged 24 months in Sloavian Oak barrels. This has produced a wine with a rich spicy black pepper nose and a hint of raisins. Full bodied taste with very intense, spicy, sweet cherry flavours have produced a well balanced wine full of flavours that combine to produce a nice finish. (12 x 75 cl)
