The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico by Tommasi is one of the reference labels of the denomination and represents one of the most typical and traditional interpretations of this famous wine, which has conquered the palates of the whole world thanks to its pleasant softness and its wide, rich, and persistent taste. A bottle that shines at the table when paired with braised red meats or stews. Ideal to taste with pastissada de caval, a great dish of the Veronese culinary tradition.

This Amarone Classico is born in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, the historic area with the oldest vocation for viticulture. The Tommasi family owns over 200 hectares in this beautiful hilly area, which extends northwest of Verona, towards Lake Garda. The Amarone is made with the historically cultivated red grape varieties in the area: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Oseleta, which come from the prestigious company crus of La Groletta and Conca d’Oro. After the harvest, the best bunches are dried in special drying rooms for about 3 months, in to concentrate sugars and aromas. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, lasting about 5 days. The wine then matures for at least 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and finishes aging with a few months in the bottle before being released on the market.

The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico by Tommasi is a concentrated and powerful red, which expresses the great tradition of the territory in the production of wines from dried grapes. It is a label faithful to the ancient custom of using large barrels for aging, not too invasive and without excessive wood aroma transfer. In the glass, it presents an intense and almost dark ruby red. On the nose, it expresses aromas of ripe fruit, cherries in alcohol, chocolate aromas, slightly toasted notes, graphite, and balsamic hints. On the palate, it is warm, broad, and complex, with a rich and deep aromatic sip and a persistent, harmonious, and balanced finish.
