Introduction:
Tommasi Ripasso Valpolicella is crafted using a time-honored technique that dates back to peasant traditions. The wine is made by fermenting the best Valpolicella Classico wine on the skins of Amarone grapes, resulting in a depth and complexity that mirrors Amarone’s characteristics, but at a more approachable price and lower alcohol. This unique wine has become one of Tommasi’s most popular classics.
