✨ 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
Established in 1902 by Giacomo Tommasi in the hillside hamlet of Pedemonte di Valpolicella, Tommasi has evolved across four generations into one of the most prominent family-owned wine estates in northeastern Italy. While anchored in the classic calcareous-limestone hills of Valpolicella Classica, the estate has expanded its viticultural footprint across prominent northeastern denominations, including the mineral-rich, glacial clay terraces of Lugana on the southern shores of Lake Garda, as well as classic terroirs across Delle Venezie. Led winemaking-wise by Giancarlo Tommasi, the house operates under strict sustainability protocols certified via Equalitas. Vinification balances regional heritage with precision oenology, championing extended wood aging in large Slavonian oak casks for its iconic Amarone della Valpolicella and the ultra-prestige single-vineyard De Buris Riserva, while delivering vibrancy and saline minerality through stainless-steel vinifications in white expressions such as Le Fornaci Lugana and Le Volpare Soave Classico.
