Amaronne della Valpolicella 2016

Tommasi

Founded by Giacomo Tommasi in 1902, this family-run estate is now in its fourth generation. They started with a small plot of vines in Valpolicella and made their first Amaronne in 1959. They now own 599 hectares of land in some of Italy's most intriguing and prestigious winemaking regions.

Their Amaronne is the star of the estate. Grapes are dried for about 3 months in a well-ventilated loft. Fermented in stainless steel and aged for 3 years in 35 and 65 hl Slavonian oak cask. Aromas of kirsch, leather, pine and a waft of dried mushroom. Elegant, complex and structured with smooth tannins well-balanced with a refreshing acidity. This is a truly unique wine and a modern take on Amaronne.

Veneto

Veneto is a substantial and increasingly important wine region in the north-eastern corner of Italy.

Just east of the lake and north of Verona is Valpolicella wine appellation: the fabled ‘Valley of Many Cellars&rsquo. Immediately east of Valpolicella is Soave, home to the eponymous dry white wine which now ranks among Italy’s most famous products. In the north-eastern corner of the region, on either side of the Piave river sparkling wine Prosecco reigns supreme.

DOCG and DOC

Veneto produces four DOCGs wines – Amazon della Valpolicella, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene,Recioto di Soave,Bardolino – of the several DOCs we find Soave, Valpolicella,Bianco di Custoza and Treviso among others.

Grape Varieties

Garganega, Trebbiano and Glera are the key white-wine grape varieties here, while Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella are behind the vast majority of reds. International varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc,and even Carmenere have proved successful here, as has northern Italy’s flagship white Pinot Grigio.
