A common thread ties together the most authentic Valpolicella tradition with a forward-looking stylistic vision. This is how Eric Guido, respected voice of Vinous, describes Tommasi in his latest report on Veneto: a winery capable of expressing two distinct souls – the timeless classicism of Amarone and the innovative approach of the De Buris project – with strong identity and coherence.
Top accolades
- “The 2013 Amarone de Buris is a classic in the making” – 97 points
- “The 2016 Ca’ Florian is elegant, silky, and built for long aging” – 96 points
- “The 2011 de Buris is opulent and perfectly balanced” – 96 points
Alongside these icons, the new generation of Valpolicella wines (Rafaèl Valpolicella Superiore e Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore) and Le Fornaci Lugana confirm quality and consistency even in the most accessible segments, offering consumers both value and authenticity
In his analysis, Eric Guido emphasizes how Tommasi has succeeded in creating “two unique styles under the umbrella of one brand.”
On one side, the Amarone Classico and Amarone Riserva Ca’ Florian remain “benchmarks of the region,” while on the other, the De Buris wines, born from the historic La Groletta vineyard, “have exceeded expectations,” standing out for their elegance, complexity, and a uniquely gastronomic style
