Born in the sun-drenched amphitheater of the 'Conca d'Oro' (Golden Basin) vineyard in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, Tommasi's Crearo is a masterful super-Veronese blend that bridges local heritage with international flair. The historic Tommasi family, custodians of Veneto winemaking since 1902, crafts this red from a thoughtful blend of Corvina Veronese, the rare indigenous Oseleta grape, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Conca d'Oro hill is legendary for its unique microclimate and clay-limestone soils, which yield grapes of exceptional concentration. Aged for approximately 18 months in French oak tonneaux, Crearo marries the bright, cherry-driven spice of Corvina with the structure of Cabernet and the deep, wild-berry intensity of Oseleta, resulting in a velvety, complex wine with a modern soul.

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.
