✨ wine.spec_sheet
Crafted by the historic Tommasi family, pioneers of the Veneto region since 1902, Adorato is a brilliant showcase of the traditional appassimento technique applied to white grapes. While appassimento is famous for producing bold reds like Amarone, Tommasi utilizes this ancient air-drying method on Garganega and Chardonnay grapes. The grapes are carefully dried for approximately one month, concentrating their natural sugars, acids, and aromatic compounds. This process yields a beautifully textured white wine, rich with aromas of wild honey, ripe peach, and tropical fruits, grounded by the mineral-rich volcanic and limestone soils of the Venetian hills.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Founded in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi, Tommasi Viticoltori is a historic family-owned estate located in Pedemonte, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region of Veneto, Italy. Now managed by the fourth generation of the Tommasi family, the estate has grown from a small vineyard into one of Italy's most respected wine producers, while remaining deeply committed to traditional viticultural practices and the expression of local terroir. The winery is celebrated for its mastery of the appassimento technique, producing world-class Amarone della Valpolicella, such as the single-vineyard Ca' Florian, alongside elegant Valpolicella Classico Superiore Rafael and expressive white wines from Lugana like Fornaci.
