Discover the Tommasi Valpolicella Ripasso, a jewel of the Veneto region, masterfully produced by the renowned Tommasi winery. This wine embodies the essence of Valpolicella Classica, revisited with the 'Ripasso' technique, which gives it unique complexity and depth.
Tommasi, a historic name in Italian winemaking, has been dedicated for four generations to enhancing the territory and its native vines. The Valpolicella Ripasso is a perfect example of this commitment, created from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, carefully selected to ensure only the best quality.
The 'Ripasso' method involves re-fermenting the Valpolicella wine on the Amarone pomace, enriching it with aromas, structure, and a higher alcohol content. This process gives the Tommasi Ripasso a unique profile, with intense aromas of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and plum, accompanied by spicy and vanilla notes derived from aging in oak barrels.
On the palate, the wine is dry, full-bodied, and harmonious, with silky tannins and a pleasant freshness that balances its richness. Its lingering finish leaves a delicious sensation of fruit and spice, inviting another sip.
Perfect for special occasions or to accompany an elegant dinner, the Tommasi Valpolicella Ripasso pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game dishes, aged cheeses, and truffle-based preparations. Also, it is very good in combination with Italian dishes with pasta and a tasty Bolognese sauce.
Why choose this wine? Because it represents the excellence of Italian winemaking, the passion of a family dedicated to wine for over a century, and the authenticity of a unique territory. Letting yourself be conquered by the Tommasi Valpolicella Ripasso means embarking on a sensory journey through the history, culture, and tradition of the Veneto region. This wine invites you to celebrate the art of good living and to share unforgettable moments with those you love. Bring the excellence of Tommasi to your table and discover why this winery is synonymous with quality and prestige in the world of wine.
