Crafted by the historic Tommasi family, who have been pioneering viticulture in the Veneto region since 1902, the Le Rosse Pinot Grigio is a classic expression of the Delle Venezie DOC. The wine takes its name from the Le Rosse vineyard, where the vines thrive in clay-rich, iron-dense soils that impart a distinct mineral complexity to the grapes. To preserve the pure, vibrant essence of the Pinot Grigio grape, Tommasi employs a gentle pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks, entirely avoiding oak contact. This meticulous process yields a bright, straw-yellow wine celebrated for its clean aromas of golden delicious apples, ripe pears, and delicate white flowers, backed by a refreshing, crisp acidity that reflects the cool alpine breezes of northeastern Italy.

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.
