Amarone Classico Tommasi 2001

Tommasi's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a benchmark in its category, a deep and powerful red wine aged for 30 months in large oak barrels. An intense olfactory spectrum marked by fruit in alcohol, chocolate, graphite and balsamic herbs emerges from a material and complex, tasty and persistent gustatory texture. This bottle in particular given its aging and refinement in the bottle will denote all its quality
Questa bottiglia in particolare dato l’invecchiamento e l’affinamento in bottiglia denoterà tutta la sua qualità.

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, usually called simply Amarone, was awarded its prestigious DOCG appellation status in 2009. Though lush, high alcohol content red wines have been made in the Veneto since the ancient Greeks settled there, the popularity of Amarone over the last few decades has resulted in international demand for the wine. Amarone is typically made from 45% to 95% Corvina, blended with Rondinella and other indigenous grapes. The blend is essentially the same as for Valpolicella, but Amarone is made from dried grapes, which gives it a rich, viscous quality and an alcohol content between 14% and 20%. Though Amarone is a dry wine, there is a sweet version called Recioto della Valpolicella. The recioto style wines are included in the DOCG, and the word “ripasso” on label usually indicates the sweeter style.
