Product Notes

Tommasi Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore is a wine from the Veneto region of Italy that is made using the ripasso method. This method involves passing the wine over the skins and lees of the dried grapes used to make Amarone, giving it a greater depth and complexity. The resulting wine is aged for 18 months in oak barrels, which adds a touch of spice to the already rich flavor profile. It has intense aromas of ripe fruit, including cherries and plums, as well as hints of vanilla and cinnamon. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with a long finish that leaves you wanting more. Perfect to pair with grilled meats or flavorful cheeses, this wine is a must-try for any red wine lover.

Tasting Notes

Deep, bright ruby red in colour. This wine has a generous and intensely spicy bouquet with aromas of cherry jam, tobacco and black pepper. It is opulent with silky tannins, with the bright fruit and spice coming through during its long finish.

About the Winery

Tommasi

Tommasi was founded in 1902 and is located in Pedemonte, in the heart of the historic Valpolicella Classico region. From grandfather Giacomo’s small vineyard holding, the Tommasi estate has developed over the years becoming one of the most recognised producers of Valpolicella and Lugana. The family owns vineyards in some of the prime hillside sites in the region and it is now managed by the 4th generation of the Tommasi family. An attentive ear to change, respect of place, and high-quality production are three driving factors that put Tommasi among Italy’s leading producers. Their expertise in crafting classic Amarone, reached the pinnacle in the newly launched De Buris project, a single vineyard, long aged expression of Amarone.
