Produced in Italy
An excellent Valpolicella Ripasso that shows a plethora of dried cranberries, strawberries, nutmeg and red licorice. Medium body, but with a serious backbone of juicy tannins and a solid center palate of dried fruit. Lovely acidity drives the finish. Drink from 2021.
From the vineyards of the Cru Conca d'oro and La Groletta, in the hilly area of Valpolicella Classica, come the grapes used to produce this iconic Tommasi label. Corvina 70%, Rondinella 25% and Corvinone for the remaining 5%, this red wine ferments in steel for about 15 days. After vinification, the wine undergoes an enrichment. A delicate process of refermentation on the marc of Amarone. It's a slow process that goes on for about two weeks. The time needed for Valpolicella to acquire greater complexity, though without reaching the level of its noble elder brother. This is followed by a phase of refinement in wood for about 18 months, which is extended by another 6 months in the bottle. Only then is Ripasso Tommasi ready to appear in public. In the glass it is a beautiful deep, luminous ruby red colour. The nose is rich and intensely spicy, with notes of ripe cherry jam, tobacco and black pepper. In the mouth it is elegant and full-bodied, with soft and silky tannins, naturally endowed with a long persistence.
From Veneto to the whole world. Tommasi is a family business founded in 1902 and today it is run by the fourth generation of the family. A name that is, for many wine lovers, a guarantee of absolute quality. Over the years the company has grown a lot, acquiring vineyards and properties in different parts of Italy. Today the Tommasi Family Estates is a solid business reality, which can count on a total of about 570 hectares of vineyards, divided into five regions. Seven estates between Valpolicella Classica and Puglia, passing through Lombardy, Tuscany and now even Basilicata. Unlike other entrepreneurial realities that, as they have grown, have gradually lost their taste for quality research and their passion for the territory, at Tommasi these values have remained central. A great company awarded by international critics and present with its products in dozens of markets, which has been able to maintain a family spirit.
