Tommasi
The Tommasi Family: Viticulturists since 1902
Tommasi was founded in 1902 and is located in Pedemonte, in the heart of the historic Valpolicella Classico region. From grandfather Giacomo’s small vineyard holding, the Tommasi estate has developed over the years becoming one of the most recognised producers of Valpolicella and Lugana. The family owns vineyards in some of the prime hillside sites in the region and it is now managed by the 4th generation of the Tommasi family. An attentive ear to change, respect of place, and high-quality production are three driving factors that put Tommasi among Italy’s leading producers. Their expertise in crafting classic Amarone, reached the pinnacle in the newly launched De Buris project, a single vineyard, long aged expression of Amarone. The family’s passion for wine, led them to acquire properties in some of the prime viticultural areas in Italy. Masseria Surani is one of the estates in the Tommasi portfolio, a winery in the heart of the Salento, Manduria. Manduria is one of the finest zones for the cultivation of the Primitivo grape, where viticulture has ancient origins, dating back to the Magna Graecia time. The inspiration of the wine names comes from the Greek Mythology, as the region of Puglia was colonised by the ancient Greeks in 700 BC.
Another project that has seen the Tommasi family involved is the esteemed Paternoster estate. One of the most important wineries in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy, Paternoster extends over 20 hectares divided into several crus of very old vineyards, planted between 450 and 600 mt altitude. The Vulture’s unique terroir is expressed in fabulously concentrated and long-lived Aglianico and mineral Falanghina. Casisano Estate, the latest addition to our portfolio, is located on a natural terrace at 480 meters above sea level overlooking the south-eastern area of Montalcino. The estate counts 22 hectares under vines, 9 of which are dedicated to the production of Brunello and 7 to the production of Rosso di Montalcino. The altitude and the great diversity of the soils allow the production of very complex and expressive wines, able to combine elegance and structure.
