Tommasi Rafaèl Valpolicella Classico Superiore comes from the Rafaèl site, the first vineyard purchased by the Tommasi family. Located in the Valpolicella Classica zone, the vineyard is trained using the traditional Pergola Veronese system in the family’s history and the identity of this historic hillside area.
Tasting Note
Bright ruby red in colour. The nose is refined and intense, combining floral and fruity tones, with ripe cherry at the centre. The palate is graceful and silky, with supple fruit, freshness and an elegant, light-bodied structure. The tannins are delicate and well integrated, giving balance without heaviness. The finish is fresh, persistent and fruit-led, showing the wine?s classic Valpolicella elegance.
Food Pairing
Pair with pasta in rich sauces, roast chicken, white meats, moderately aged cheeses, spicy Asian dishes, full-flavoured fish soups, charcuterie or mushroom dishes.
