The Amarone Riserva Cà Florian DOCG from the Tommasi winery represents excellence in the panorama of Italian wines, originating from the historic vineyards located in the Valpolicella Classica region. This wine is the result of meticulous selection of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which are left to dry for several months before being vinified, following a methodology that reflects ancient traditions amplified by technological innovation.
The Riserva Cà Florian is renowned for its aging process, which can extend up to 4 years in oak barrels, a considerable period that significantly contributes to the complexity of its bouquet and its extraordinary structure. On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of ripe berries, sweet spices like vanilla, and light notes of tobacco and chocolate, stemming from the maturation in wood.
On the palate, the Amarone Riserva Cà Florian is robust and enveloping, with a velvety texture that caresses the palate. The tannins are well-integrated and the aftertaste is persistent, with a pleasant finish of fruity and spicy notes that invite another sip.
Ideally served at a temperature of 18°C, this wine pairs perfectly with rich and flavorful dishes such as braised meats, stews, and aged cheeses. It is also an excellent companion as a meditation wine at the end of a meal.
In conclusion, the Amarone Riserva Cà Florian DOCG is not just a wine but a true sensory experience that reflects the passion and dedication of the Tommasi family in creating superior quality wines. A must for wine enthusiasts and a magnificent discovery for those who wish to explore the noble side of Valpolicella more deeply.
