Tommasi Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 15% Vol. 0,75l

The Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2022 (15%) is a powerful and traditional Amarone from Veneto, produced in the historic Valpolicella Classico region. The Tommasi family winery is one of the region's established producers and uses the classic grape varieties Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella for this red wine. Crucial to its distinctive character is the traditional appassimento method: after harvesting, the carefully selected grapes are dried for several months. During this time, the berries lose water, while sugars, extract, and other components concentrate. Only then does vinification take place. This elaborate method forms the basis for the characteristic density and structure of an Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG.

After fermentation, the Tommasi Amarone 2022 is given ample time to mature in oak barrels, allowing its powerful structure to develop harmoniously. Despite its concentration, Tommasi is not solely about opulence, but rather about the combination of body, elegance, and balanced structure. With 15% alcohol in the 0.75-liter bottle, this premium Italian red wine from Valpolicella is both a sophisticated food pairing wine and a wine for special occasions, as well as one suitable for further bottle aging. The combination of DOCG appellation, Appassimento, traditional grape varieties, and extended aging makes Tommasi a classic example of the renowned Amarone style.

The Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2022 pairs perfectly with braised or roasted red meat, game, roast beef, and hearty braised dishes. Equally classic is its combination with aged cheeses, whose intense spiciness complements the Amarone's structure.
