✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Buris vineyard in San Pietro in Cariano, Tommasi's 'Bvris' is a masterclass in Valpolicella Classico Superiore Riserva. This single-vineyard bottling represents a passionate endeavor to elevate the reputation of Valpolicella's fresh-grape wines, proving they can rival the complexity of Amarone without relying on the appassimento process. Cultivated on clay-limestone soils, the traditional blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Oseleta benefits from excellent sun exposure. The wine is aged for nearly two years in large Slavonian oak casks, resulting in a structured, elegant red with notes of dark cherry, wild herbs, and refined spice that pays homage to Veneto's rich agricultural history.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1902 by Giacomo Battista Tommasi, Tommasi is an esteemed historic wine estate based in Pedemonte in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica zone of Veneto, Italy. Still owned and meticulously managed by the fourth generation of the Tommasi family, the estate has established itself as an international benchmark for authentic Northern Italian viticulture. The winery is renowned for its mastery of traditional regional winemaking techniques, particularly the native appassimento grape-drying method used to craft their powerful, long-lived Amarone della Valpolicella Classico and prestigious single-vineyard bottlings like Ca' Florian and Rafael. Alongside their iconic Valpolicella red wines, Tommasi produces refined Lugana whites, elegant Chiaretto rosés, and characterful dessert wines that celebrate indigenous varietals and historic terroirs.
