A blend of Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella, from the Veneto in North Eastern Italy. The single vineyard Rafaèl, the first vineyard bought by the Tomassi family, is on a hillside location of six hectares. The soil consists of layers of fine sediments such as clay, and limestone, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine. The vines are trained using the Pergola Veronese system, and it lies in the Valpolicella Classico zone.
Founded by Giacomo Tommasi in 1902, Tommasi has grown to be the largest family-owned vineyard estate in the Valpolicella Classica, owning 105 hectares and an additional 45 hectares in the Lugana DOC. Tommasi is located in the heart of the historic ‘Classico’ region. RKL
