Aged for 15 months in large Slavonian oak casks, this Valpolicella showcases excellent balance and is ideal for pairing with dishes such as spaghetti Bolognese, veal piccata, or aged cheeses. With an ABV of 13%, it is approachable now but has the potential to develop over the next couple of years, drinking best through 2025.

This wine represents Tommasi’s deep-rooted commitment to the region's traditional winemaking practices and highlights the elegance of the Valpolicella Classico zone.
