✨ Technical Specifications
The Tommasi family, pioneers in the Veneto region since 1902, crafts the Monte Masua Valpolicella Classico Superiore as a tribute to one of the most historic hillsides in the Valpolicella Classico zone. Situated in the heart of the region, the Monte Masua vineyard benefits from excellent sun exposure and well-draining limestone and clay soils, which impart a distinct mineral elegance to the wine. This red blend is composed of the traditional Veronese grapes: Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella. It is crafted to highlight the vibrant, fresh cherry and wild berry characters of the fruit, supported by subtle spice notes acquired during its careful aging in Slavonian oak casks. The wine reflects the ancient viticultural heritage of Valpolicella, where hillside vineyards have been celebrated since Roman times for producing wines of remarkable balance, structure, and aromatic complexity.
🍾 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.
