The grapes come from estate-owned hillside vineyards, particularly from the La Groletta and Conca d’Oro crus. The rows are cultivated on steep terraced slopes, supported by the typical dry-stone walls known as \u003cstrong\u003emarogne\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Fermentation continues at low temperatures for up to fifty days, allowing the must to fully evolve. The long ageing of three years in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e imparts structure and elegance, resulting in a \u003cstrong\u003efull-bodied dry red\u003c\/strong\u003e of great complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVenetian excellence takes shape in the \u003cstrong\u003eAmarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e, a masterpiece signed by Tommasi and produced exclusively in the finest vintages.
