Tommasi Amarone 750ml - Item Code: 05960
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Tommasi Amarone 750ml greets the palate with a rich, velvety texture that makes it perfect for special occasions or a cozy evening in. With an ABV of 15%, this Italian classic is crafted using partially dried Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes from the Valpolicella region. The traditional appassimento method concentrates both flavor and aroma, resulting in a wine that stands out for its depth and complexity.
In each glass, you’ll find layers of ripe dark cherry, plum, cocoa, and subtle spice balanced by gentle tannins. These bold flavors make Tommasi Amarone an excellent match for roasted lamb or aged Parmesan cheese. The wine’s richness complements the savory notes of lamb while its natural acidity cuts through the creaminess of Parmesan, creating a harmonious dining experience.
Producer Information: Tommasi
Tommasi is a historic wine producer based in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, near Verona in Italy’s Veneto region. Founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi, the estate has remained family-owned for four generations, with each contributing to its growth and reputation. The Tommasi family emphasizes sustainable viticulture and meticulous vineyard management, combining traditional winemaking techniques with modern technology to ensure quality and authenticity across their wines.
Beyond their celebrated Amarone della Valpolicella, Tommasi’s portfolio includes a diverse range of Italian varietals such as Pinot Grigio from Le Rosse vineyards and Lugana from Tenuta San Martino. They also produce Brunello di Montalcino at Poggio al Tufo in Tuscany and Prosecco from Tenuta Filodora in the Veneto hills. Expanding into spirits, Tommasi crafts grappa distilled from their own grape pomace, reflecting regional character. Their holdings extend to estates in Lombardy and Puglia, allowing them to offer wines like Oltrepò Pavese Metodo Classico sparkling wine and Primitivo di Manduria, further showcasing Italy’s rich viticultural heritage.

Pinot Noir is a renowned red wine grape variety celebrated for its delicate and nuanced flavors. Originating primarily from Burgundy in France, this light to medium-bodied wine showcases vibrant notes of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, complemented by earthy undertones and subtle spices. The aromas often include floral hints like rose and herbal nuances, with a touch of vanilla derived from aging in French oak barrels.
This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a range of dishes such as grilled salmon, duck breast, or roasted chicken with herbs. Its silky tannins and smooth finish make it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and formal occasions. Winemaking techniques like cold soaking for color extraction and fermentation with wild yeasts enhance its complexity while malolactic fermentation contributes to its softness, making Pinot Noir a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
