SPECIFICATIONS

TASTING NOTES

The Tommasi company cultivates the history of wine with love, with the large wine production and the strong entrepreneurial sense of the founding family making it stand out among the wine-growing estates of the Veneto region. The company now has 195 hectares of its own vineyards, an important milestone, dedicated to the production of fine red wines. Tommasi's Valpolicella Classico Superiore is the wine that tells the story of the region and we can only agree. Elegant is the adjective that best describes Rafael's character. An unmistakable wine closely linked to the history of the Tommasi family. Valpolicella wines require great skill on the part of the winemaker to find the perfect balance between the different indigenous grapes: in this case 60% Corvina, 25% Rondinella and 15% Molinara. Following maceration and fermentation, Valpolicella Superiore Rafael is aged in Slavonian oak barrels for 15 months. In the glass it is a bright ruby red, opening on the nose with refined intensity, floral and fruity notes with ripe cherry highlights. It is subtle and velvety on the palate and impresses with a delicious length and freshness of the fruit, making it incredibly elegant. Very versatile, it is excellent with first courses with rich sauces, roasts and white meats. It is also recommended with spicy oriental dishes and tasty fish soups. Read more Read less
THE WINERY

Tommasi

The history of the Tonello family is characterized by a true bond between family and wine tradition. The winery is managed by his father Antonio and his daughter Diletta, who with soul and heart for the company and for the territory carry on the family tradition. The company covers 12 hectares of vineyards between the provinces of Vicenza and Verona, cultivated according to the organic regime with Garganega and Durella grapes, which in this volcanic soil express a savory mineral character, making the wines unique and long-lived. Tonello produces Metodo Classico and Durella in a firm version: autochthonous vine of the Lessini Mountains is an ancient and rustic vine that gives golden grapes with a typical acidulous taste and a skin rich in tannin, giving a unique personality. Name and address manufacturer/distributor: Cantina Tonello - Via Corcironda 6, 36050 - Montorso Vicentino (VI). The products of this cellar should be stored in a cool and dry place away from heat sources.
