The Tommasi family has made wine for over 100 years, since 1902, when Giacomo Tommasi acquired a small parcel of land in Valpolicella Classica.

Giacomo Tommasi negotiates the title to the sharecropper lands from the Counts Campostrini Boccoli and the historic home which is still shown on the Amarone labels.

With the second generation, the sharecropper contract is concluded and the Tommasi family gains full ownership of the property.

The first official vintage of Tommasi Amarone Classico is created, from the natural "appassimento" of the Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes. Every vintage since then has been a continuous research to produce better wine, while remaining faithful to the winemaking principles of the founder, Giacomo.

In the same year that Italy officially acknowledged the Doc Valpolicella, the Tommasi family with the third generation begins a new path of expansion in markets beyond Verona.

With the construction of the new winery, Tommasi consolidates sales in Italy, and begins their distribution abroad.

A consolidation of foreign markets, in particular, USA, Switzerland, Canada and Ireland, begins a decade, when the main mission of the company is to bring the Tommasi name and its iconic wine to markets worldwide.

The acquisition of Villa Quaranta, historic villa from the XVI Century Valpolicella, and the start of an important hospitality project.

The fourth generation officially enters into key positions in the company. With them, begins the project Tommasi Family Estates, a plan to expand the company's holdings. Vineyards were purchased in the Valpolicella and in other prime wine regions beyond the Veneto, such as in the Tuscan Maremma with Poggio al Tufo.

The La Groletta vineyard is acquired on Mount La Grola, the most prestigious in the Valpolicella Classica. The year 2000 also marks the first harvest of oenologist Giancarlo Tommasi, who takes the helm as the director of production for all Tommasi wines.

To celebrate the winery's 110th anniversary, a new ageing cellar was built solely for the Amarone wines. The centerpiece of the cellar is the Magnifica barrel, the largest in the world, with a capacity of 33 thousand liters.

A stunning "masseria" farmhouse surrounded by 80 hectares, 55 of which are planted with Primitivo di Manduria.

Intuition and passion led us to Oltrepò Pavese, the land of Pinot Noir.

Our experience and love for the remarkable terroir of Montalcino, led us to Casisano, a splendid estate where we produce the wines that fully express our family values and winemaking expertise.

We seal an agreement of collaboration and partnership with the historic Vulture winery, Paternoster, the king of Aglianico in Basilicata.

The coronation of a decade long project to discover the potential of a single vineyard, and the launch of an Amarone renaissance which captures the unique qualities of a terroir, and preserves the history and traditions of Valpolicella. De Buris is a wine of nature and harmony, in rhythm with the seasons.

Tommasi's daily commitment to the production of fine wines continues. We aim to be a benchmark for excellence in Italian winemaking, and to delight wine enthusiasts with every glass poured.
