Tommasi Valpolicella is a classic Italian red wine from the Valpolicella DOC region in Veneto. The wine is typically made from a blend of native grape varieties—Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel, with a short maturation, usually partly in large Slavonian oak barrels. The style is meant to be approachable, fresh, and fruity, best consumed relatively young.
