Product Notes

Tommasi Rafaèl Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC is an exquisite Italian wine showcasing rich ruby hues and perfectly balanced tannins. This wine hails from the Valpolicella's most traditional denominations, processed using the traditional "Ripasso" method. The blend, primarily Corvina Veronese and Rondinella grapes, gives a full-bodied flavour filled with plum, cherry, and spices. Its elegant, velvety texture leads to a persistent, harmonious finish. Aged in Slavonian oak barrels for eighteen months, this wine develops unique depth and complexity, enhancing its pairing versatility. Tommasi Rafaèl is best served at 18°C and enjoyed alongside red meat, game, or mature cheeses.

Tasting Notes

Bright ruby red, with fresh red cherry perfumes. Flavours of sweet cherry and chocolate with a smooth and supple drinkability, make this wine an easy drinking delight.
