The Veneto wines from Italy

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.

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.
