✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 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.
