✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the historic Tommasi estate, established in 1902 in the Veneto region, the Bosco Gal Bianco (often referred to as Bosco del Gal) is a beautiful expression of the morainic hills of Castelnuovo del Garda, near the southeastern shores of Lake Garda. The name, which translates to 'Wood of the Rooster,' whispers of local folklore and the ancient wooded landscapes of the region. This white wine is typically crafted from a classic blend of local grape varieties, predominantly Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, and Cortese. The vines thrive in stony, calcareous soils left behind by ancient glaciers, benefiting from a unique microclimate moderated by the nearby lake. Tommasi utilizes gentle pressing and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the pristine fruit character, avoiding oak to let the terroir shine. The resulting wine is celebrated for its bright, straw-yellow hue, delicate aromas of white wildflowers, pear, and citrus, and a crisp, mineral-driven finish with a characteristic hint of bitter almond.
🍾 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.
