Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2013

Description

Tommasi is historically and today a standard bearer of the Amarone appellation, and one of the most important quality producers in the Veneto. The family-run estate was founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi in the village of Pedemonte, which lies in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region that extends north-west of Verona. The family owns 234 acres in Valpolicella Classico, making them the single largest land owners in the area. Over the years they have steadily expanded their holdings in other areas of the Veneto, and now own a total of 370 acres. As has been the case since the winery’s establishment, the family works only with grapes they grow, an important quality decision and reflection of their deep connection to the Valpolicella soil.
Amarone is a blend of 50% Corvina Veronese, 30% Rondinella, 15% Corvinone and 5% Molinara, from the family’s choicest plots in Valpolicella Classico. Their traditional approach to Amarone favors elegance and balance, with deep fruit complemented by spicy, earthy flavors.
The best clusters are selected exclusively by hands from Tommasi’s top two vineyards in the five key valleys (also known as fingers) in the Valpolicella Classico area: La Groletta, a south-facing hillside vineyard close to Lake Garda, and la Conca d’Oro, a terraced vineyard which translates to “the golden shell.”
After harvest, the grapes are placed on small racks in a large grape-drying room known as a fruttaio, where they are dried by cool autumn and winter breezes until the following February. Over these months the grapes lose about 50% of their weight, concentrating the level of natural sugar. After fermentation, the wine is aged for about three years in large 35-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks, followed by one year in bottle.
A warm, ripe scent on the nose that is intense and of great refinement. It is a full bodied wine with lots of cherry notes and plum flavors. An excellent choice for red meats, game and mature cheeses.
