About the Producer

Founded in 1902 during the Belle Époque, Tommasi began as a family venture in Valpolicella and evolved into a leading name in Italian winemaking. Surviving two world wars, the family expanded their vineyard holdings across key Veronese regions. By the 1970s, they built a modern winery, emphasizing full control from vine to bottle. Since 1997, the fourth generation has driven further growth through strategic acquisitions in Valpolicella and beyond. Today, Tommasi blends heritage with innovation to produce wines enjoyed worldwide.

Vineyard

From hillside vineyards in Valpolicella Classica, strategically positioned for thermal variation, contributing aromatic complexity and freshness.

Vinification

Manual harvest and grape selection followed by traditional appassimento (drying) for about 100 days on bamboo racks. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks for 25 days at 25–30°C.

Ageing

Aged for 3 years in Slavonian oak barrels (35–65 hl), followed by 1 year of bottle aging.

Tasting Notes

A wine of remarkable elegance and depth, showcasing the house’s traditional mastery of the appassimento technique. Tommasi Amarone Della Valpolicella opens with intense aromas of ripe cherries, blackberries, and dried wild berries, layered with warm notes of sweet spices, earthy nuances, and a touch of mocha.

On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with a velvety texture and soft, well-integrated tannins. A vibrant acidity lifts the richness of the dried fruit flavours: prunes, sultanas, and dark cherries, creating a harmonious balance. The finish is long and refined, lingering with hints of spice, cocoa, and red fruit, offering a quintessential expression of Amarone that is powerful yet impeccably poised.
