WINE DESCRIPTION

Tommasi Rafaèl Valpolicella Classico Superiore is a red wine produced by the Tommasi family, who have been making wine in the Veneto region of Italy for four generations. This wine is made from a blend of native grape varieties, including Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This beautiful Italian red from Tommasi is a Valpolicella Classico Superiore.It is crafted from a classic blend of Corvina and Rondinella grapes, which are grown in vineyards located near the historic village of Fumane in the Valpolicella appellation. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks before being matured in large oak casks for 12 months. On the nose, the wine presents aromas of blackberries and cherries, with hints of spice, vanilla and licorice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and rich, with a velvety texture and flavors of ripe dark fruits, hints of tobacco and earth, and a balanced acidity. The finish is long and elegant, with a lingering hint of spice. This is a lovely Valpolicella Classico Superiore to enjoy with slow-cooked dishes or grilled meats.
