"Baked cherry and red licorice"

Wine Spectator - December 7, 2021 "Rich, dark notes of coffee liqueur, dates, leather and hot stone are integrated with fruit-forward strawberry preserves, baked cherry and red licorice flavors in this expressive, medium- to full-bodied red. It's finely balanced, creamy and lightly mouthwatering on the palate, with refined tannins and hints of spice and dusty sage emerging on the lingering finish." - AN 10/21

"There is deep intensity here"

Wine Advocate - January 19, 2022

" The fruit is selected from a 2.4-hectare parcel in La Groletta with calcareous clay soils, medium texture and lots of rocks. The traditional blend used here is 65% Corvina, 22% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella and 8% Oseleta. The wine ages for five slow years in Slavonian oak. There is deep intensity here, and the wine reveals its bouquet of dark fruits, spice, leather and earth with slow momentum. It offers an elegant mouthfeel with bright acidity and polished level of tannins that can only be achieved with age. However, the fruit at the core of this wine is well preserved, and the wine tastes much younger than it actually is." - M.L 12/21

"Silky yet vertical"

Vinous - April 18, 2022 The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Riserva De Buris pulls you close with an intense and spicy mix of sour citrus, tart cherries, dusty rose and dark, dark chocolate. I like the lift here, coming across as intensely floral and with an herbal twang that balances its rich fruits. This is silky yet vertical, as cooling acids add balance, saturating the palate with intense spice while becoming quite floral and mineral toward the close. It’s youthfully dense and with amazing potential, leaving the palate coated in fine tannins, nearly silty, along with hints of licorice and bitter spice. The 2010 is simply gorgeous, and with the potential to go two to three decades or more.

"Peppery red fruit"

James Suckling - July 25, 2022 "Silky smooth Amarone with peppery red fruit and a spritzy amarena-cherry character. Medium-bodied, it’s a little too relaxed mid-palate, but the tannins are still firm and the fruit remains intact." - J.S 10/21

De Buris Valpolicella Classico Superiore

Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC

De Buris is a timeless wine and a new classic. It is the culmination of the talent, passion, patience, and discipline of the Tommasi family. Villa de Buris contains two thousand years of history in the Valpolicella area: here the de Buris project has found the ideal space in which to grow and develop. Today, these wines come from select organic parcels of the La Groletta cru and are patiently aged in a dedicated cellar at the historic villa.

Filodora Prosecco DOC

Prosecco DOC

Tommasi Filodora represents the best of Prosecco: coming from Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, the most prestigious areas of the Prosecco appellation, this fresh sparkling wine is the perfect sparkler for any occasion. The wine has been part of the Tommasi portfolio since 2012, when the winery celebrated its 110th anniversary; it was important to the family to begin producing wine in the area that their home region of the Veneto is perhaps best known for.

Le Volpare Soave Classico

Soave Classico DOC

This 100% single-vineyard Garganega is a perfect representation of the Veneto's defining white wine. Though a pure pleasure to drink on its own, the wine's moderate acidity, elegant perfume and high concentration of aromatic compounds makes it a versatile paring wine as well.

Lugana

Lugana DOC

Le Fornaci hails from Lugana, a trendy, growing appellation on the southern shores of Lake Garda. Tommasi has long owned an estate in the village of San Martino della Battaglia, where they produce elegant white wines made from the indigenous and largely unknown Turbiana grape.

Rafaèl Valpolicella Classico Superiore

This Valpolicella comes from the historical Tommasi family vineyard, Rafaèl. Perfectly situated on one of the region’s most famous hills, Monte Masua, it produces what may be the best grapes for the production of Valpolicella Classico Superiore.

Ripasso Valpolicella

Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC

This wine is made by refermenting the juice from the Valpolicella on the warm Amarone grape skins, in the typical “Ripasso” method, which imparts a rich character and personality to the wine. The grapes for the Ripasso Valpolicella are sourced from three of most prestigious Tommasi vineyards: Conca d’Oro, La Groletta and De Buris.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG

Tommasi's traditional approach to Amarone favors elegance and balance, with deep fruit complemented by spicy, earthy flavors. The grapes come from the family’s choicest plots in the Valpolicella Classica region. Through its commitment to quality and tradition, Tommasi has established itself as one of the principal ambassadors of Amarone in the world.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Ca’ Florian

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG

Ca' Florian is the feather in the cap of the Tommasi family's production in Valpolicella. Amarone Riserva “Ca ‘Florian” is made with selected grapes from one of the oldest vineyards owned by the Tommasi family. The grapes come from vines with an average age of 30 years.

Le Rosse Pinot Grigio

DOC delle Venezie

This Valpolicella Pinot Grigio can be described as sitting between the richer, more concentrated Pinot Grigio from Friuli to the north, and racier styles from the Veneto at large. The nose is spicy with hints of tropical fruit, the flavors clean and crisp, and the body round and soft with a crisp finish.
