alc. 13.5%

Tommasi 's Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso is one of the most elegant and recognizable interpretations of this traditional Veronese technique. It is made in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica area from Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone grapes, grown on sunny, limestone hills.

After the initial fermentation, the wine is "repassed" over the Amarone pomace, from which it acquires structure, warmth, and aromatic intensity , while maintaining the freshness and pleasantness typical of Valpolicella. It then ages for approximately twelve months in Slavonian oak barrels , according to the traditional Tommasi family style.

In the glass, it presents a deep ruby ​​red color and a rich bouquet of ripe cherries, dried plums, notes of cocoa, and sweet spices . On the palate, it is soft and velvety , with fine tannins and a perfect balance between body, elegance, and freshness. The finish is long, harmonious, and pleasantly fruity.

Ripasso Tommasi is a versatile wine with great personality, ideal with red meats, game, roasts and mature cheeses , but also perfect to accompany moments of relaxation and conviviality.
