Dark fruit glides over a savory core here, with black cherry and blackberry layered with gentle leather, dried herb and a touch of orange peel, all kept bright by a surprisingly lively line of acidity. Tommasi Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2019 feels more agile than many Amarones, medium to full in body with chewy but well-shaped tannins and a long, slightly spicy finish that stays clean rather than heavy. It’s a modern, fresher take on Amarone that still delivers depth and warmth without excess sweetness or weight.

Tommasi’s Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is the estate’s flagship Amarone from the historic La Groletta and Conca d’Oro crus in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, crafted via traditional appassimento and long aging in large Slavonian oak casks. Typically based on Corvina with Corvinone, Rondinella and a touch of Oseleta, it aims for an elegant, balanced style that marries concentrated dried cherry and plum fruit with notes of spice, cocoa and wild herbs, delivering richness without being heavy or cloying.
