From Valpolicella to Collio, passing through Montalcino, Vulture and Salento, Tommasi Family Estates inaugurates the summer season with a calendar of experiences designed to tell the story of wine through places, people and the pleasure of hospitality. An itinerary that crosses Italy from north to south and brings together the different souls of the group in a contemporary proposal made of conviviality, territorial identities and authentic moments to be experienced among vineyards, cellars and iconic landscapes.
«Wine tourism today represents one of the most important strategic assets for our Family – says Pierangelo Tommasi – and it is the most authentic way to connect with wine and with the territories that express it. Through the experiences offered at our estates, we want to tell the story of the richness and diversity of Italian wine, enhancing local identities and the culture of hospitality. We also believe that wine should be communicated and experienced as part of an everyday lifestyle, made of conviviality, conscious consumption and well-being. Wine tourism fully reflects this vision: creating lasting value through experiences capable of leaving a memory over time and building consumer loyalty».
The season begins on May 30 and 31 with Eroica Montalcino and Cantine Aperte. At Casisano, among the hills of Montalcino, the arrival of the Eroica ride meets the world of Brunello in a weekend dedicated to discovering the estate: cellar tours, tastings and picnics among the vineyards will accompany guests in one of the highest and most renowned areas of the denomination.
In Vulture, also on May 30 and 31, Paternoster will open its doors with tastings and visits to the new Cantina del Barone Rotondo; on Saturday, May 30, the special event “Cantine Aperte After Sunset”: an evening aperitif with music, volcanic wines and local cuisine, designed to tell the authentic character of this territory. The calendar will continue on June 12 with the presentation of Rocco Catalano’s book dedicated to Veronelli’s cultural legacy, together with a series of summer events aimed at wine lovers and curious travellers eager to discover Vulture.
In Salento, Masseria Surani inaugurates the season at Tenuta Eméra with “Hello Summer”, the opening weekend that will kick off a summer with a Mediterranean rhythm, among tastings, cellar tours and moments to be enjoyed at sunset.
Throughout the summer, the “Aperitivo al Tramonto” will accompany Salento evenings with local wines and regional specialities, while the “Eméra Vibes”, “Eméra Racconta” and “Calici di Salento” experiences will offer tasting journeys capable of weaving together stories, grape varieties and the identity of Southern Italy, from Salento to the volcanic wines of Vulture.
In Valpolicella, “Sparkling Sunday” returns, the Sunday appointment by Tommasi which, from June to September, combines cellar tours and tastings in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. From the most accessible experiences to vertical tastings dedicated to old vintages of Amarone, the proposals are designed to accompany guests in discovering the gastronomic and wine culture of the territory.
The calendar will culminate on June 26 in Collio with the “Russiz Superiore Night”, hosted among the vineyards of Marco Felluga & Russiz Superiore: an open-air evening of tastings, music and gastronomic itineraries immersed in the hilly landscape of Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Through these initiatives, Tommasi Family Estates consolidates an increasingly experiential and transversal vision of hospitality, in which wine becomes a key to accessing territories, local cultures and the authentic rhythms of Italian wine.
