Veneto, ItalyThis is a solid, well-priced Ripasso, which is more on the savoury side of the spectrum. There's a combination of dried cherry and plum, accented by chocolate, tomato leaf, dried herbs, and cinnamon. It's suave and glycerious, with a softness to the palate thanks to the subtle residual sugar, which is nicely balanced by juicy acidity. It's a lovely expression of Ripasso, with a real drinkability that you don't always find with this style.Tasted: 08 April 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Veneto, ItalyIt's been a while since I have seen this label and at first blush, the winemaking looks much improved. The nose is dry but fresh with florals, balsamic, and menthol. The palate opens with the intensity of the ripasso style, offering blackcurrants and baking spices and silky, easy, sipping textures that carry long into the finish. Think grilled beef or game as main course dishes, or you can serve it with a piece of mature cheese. Tommasi is located in Pedemonte village in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico region, on a small amount of land in the northwest part of Verona, between the Lessini mountains and their plains near Lake Garda.Tasted: 11 April 2022Tasted by: Prices:
