From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

The ultimate version of the iconic Valpolicella Classico Superiore. Sourced from a unique vineyard, Tommasi Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore is also a truly unique wine. Serve this Tommasi wine to your guests during a dinner with a rich pasta dish or a large piece of meat. It's a truly surprising pairing with oriental dishes.

Veneto is Italy's wine cellar. It boasts countless well-known names like Soave, Prosecco, and Bardolino. All are leading wines enjoyed by millions worldwide. However, in the heart of Veneto, you'll find perhaps its most famous region: Valpolicella. A region that many have fallen in love with, including the Tommasi family, who have been making wines here for generations.

Tommasi wines have acquired true cult status among wine connoisseurs. The Valpolicella Classico, in particular, has received rave reviews. However, this Tommasi Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore is a wine of a different order. Previous generations saw the potential of a unique location in Valpolicella: the Rafael vineyards on Monte Masua. Because grapevines were planted there back then, we can now enjoy the highest quality.

The Rafael vineyard is considered one of the finest of the more than 200 hectares Tommasi owns. Here you'll find the three classic grape varieties used in Tommasi Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore: Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinari. Due to a secret blend created by the winemaker, we will never be able to determine the exact composition of Tommasi Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore. What we do know? The fifteen months of oak aging, which ensures an excellent wine.

Opulent and elegant, yet with a Tommasi vibe. We were pleasantly surprised when we opened our first bottle of Tommasi Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore. The wine sharpens the senses: fresh dark fruit, fragrant cherries, and a floral bouquet—exactly as a Valpolicella Classico Superiore should be.

De jaargang 2022 in Veneto was over het algemeen uitdagend maar resulteerde in kwaliteitswijnen. Een warme zomer zorgde voor rijpe druiven, wat leidde tot gestructureerde wijnen met een goede balans.
