Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG Tommasi

An Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG from Tommasi, made mainly from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes hand-harvested in the Valpolicella Classica area. The grapes undergo appassimento for some months, followed by slow fermentation and long ageing in large oak casks. It has a deep ruby red colour tending to garnet with age. Aromas include mature cherry, plum, sweet spice, chocolate and vanilla. On the palate it is full-bodied, with robust but well-integrated tannins and a long, persistent finish with spice and dried fruit notes. It suits rich dishes such as braised meat, stews and aged cheeses.
