✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the historic Tommasi family estate, established in Veneto in 1902, Volpare takes its name from the local dialect for foxes (volpi) that once roamed the sun-drenched volcanic hillsides of the Soave Classico zone. This single-vineyard expression is crafted entirely from Garganega grapes grown in basalt-rich, volcanic soils. To preserve the pristine purity of the fruit, the wine is fermented and aged in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The result is a classic Soave that beautifully reflects its terroir, showcasing delicate aromas of white flowers, chamomile, and pear, underpinned by a distinct mineral backbone and a characteristic almond finish.
🍾 wine.about_producer
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.
