Tommasi Amarone Classico Della Valpolicella Jeroboam possesses deep aromas of plum, raisins, dates, and cocoa. The intoxicating scent bursts from your glass! On the palate, this Amarone is velvety smooth, round, and coating. Pleasantly sweet with a full flavor of ripe black cherries. Overwhelming. According to connoisseurs in the hospitality industry, this is the very best Amarone in existence. And that says something!
Founded in 1902, the Tommasi family business is located in Pedemonte, a small village in the heart of the ‘Valpolicella Classico’ region, in the northwestern part of Verona-Veneto. The family owns exceptionally beautifully situated vineyards for the production of high-quality wines in the D.O.C. regions surrounding Verona. The area is particularly praised for its incomparable red wines: Amarone Classico della Valpolicella (such as this one), Ripasso, Valpolicella, and Recioto della Valpolicella.
This Amarone is made using the traditional ‘Appassimento’ method. Only the best and ripest bunches go into the Amarone. After the harvest, the grapes are hung on small racks in open buildings, where they dry out in the cool autumn and winter breezes until February. During this process, they lose approximately 50% of their weight, and the concentration of natural sugars increases. After fermentation, the wine ages for a minimum of 3 years in 35 hl Slovenian oak barrels and then for another year in the bottle.
The Tommasi Amarone has an intense ruby red color. The wine has warm, ripe aromas on the nose, intense and refined. A complex taste, smooth, full of power with lots of cherries, nuts, and plums. The Amarone is excellent in combination with red meat, rib-eye with arugula, game, and aged cheeses. What follows is an endlessly long finish. You can also pour the Amarone after dinner as a delicious after-dinner wine. Enjoy to the last drop. Serve the wine between 18 and 20 ºC.
