Description

The Merlot la Selezione di Le Prunee, signed Tommasi, is born in the famous Veneto area, a land rich in wine-growing tradition and an ideal climate for the cultivation of Merlot. This wine elegantly expresses the identity of the grape variety, enhanced by careful aging in oak barrels that confer structure and complexity without overshadowing its natural notes. On the nose, there are aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by delicate spicy hints and a slight toast.

On the palate, it shows a full-bodied, rich, and smooth texture, with well-balanced tannins and a persistent finish. Its harmony makes it ideal for accompanying roast meat dishes, aged cheeses, and typical dishes of Venetian cuisine. A Merlot with an authentic personality, capable of telling the story of the territory through a refined and engaging sip.

Winery history

The Tommasi family has been active in winemaking since 1902, when Giacomo Tommasi purchased the first vineyard in the Valpolicella Classica. Over the 20th and 21st centuries the company evolved into Tommasi Family Estates, acquiring and managing several estates outside Veneto and consolidating its reputation especially through the production of Amarone. Amarone Tommasi is produced according to the traditional appassimento method, and the wine’s historic expression dates back to the late 1950s as a distinctive family product.
