- AMARONE CLASSICO MAGNUM TOMMASI 2019 DESCRIPTION
- Amarone della Valpolicella Classico by Tommasi is one of the reference labels of the denomination and represents one of the most typical and traditional interpretations of this famous wine, which has conquered palates all over the world thanks to its pleasant softness and its broad, rich and persistent taste. A bottle that is enhanced at the table when paired with braised red meats or stews. Ideal to taste with pastissada de caval, a great dish of the Veronese culinary tradition.
- This Amarone Classico is born in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, the historic area with the oldest vocation for viticulture. The Tommasi family owns a total of over 200 hectares in this splendid hilly area, which extends to the northwest of Verona, towards Lake Garda. Amarone is made with red grapes historically grown in the area: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta, which come from the prestigious company crus of La Groletta and Conca d'Oro. After the harvest, the best bunches are left to dry in special drying rooms for around 3 months, in order to concentrate sugars and aromas. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels, lasting around 5 days. The wine then ages for at least 30 months in large Slavonian oak barrels and ends its refinement with a few months in the bottle before being released for sale.
- Amarone della Valpolicella Classico by Tommasi is a concentrated and powerful red, which expresses the great tradition of the territory in the production of wines from dried grapes. It is a label faithful to the ancient custom of using large barrels for refinement, not too invasive and without excessive release of wood aromas. In the glass it presents an intense and almost dark ruby red. On the nose it expresses aromas of ripe fruit, cherries in alcohol, aromas of chocolate, slightly toasted notes, graphite and balsamic hints. On the palate it is warm, broad and complex, with an aromatically rich and deep sip and a persistent, harmonious and balanced finish.
