Tommasi Vitcoltori is a family com - pany founded in 1902. It is located in Pedemonte, a small village in the heart of the “Valpolicella Classico” region, in the northwest part of Ve - rona. From grandfather Giacomo Tomma - si’s tiny vineyard, the Tommasi estate has grown steadily over the course of the years and today it extends over 195 hectares of hillside vineyards. It is principally acclaimed for its incom - parable red wines of the Valpolicella Classico region. “Tommasi Family Estates Project” for Tommasi Viticoltori refers to a major investment program begun in 1997 and dedicated to the acquisition of lands best suited for wine grapes. Amarone Riserva “Ca’ Florian” is made with selected grapes from one of the oldest vineyards that the Tommasi family owns. Amarone “Ca’ Florian” becomes “Riserva” due to the 4 years of ageing in wooden barrels as requi - red by law. Amarone comes from the respect for nature and the wise cultivation of the vines, from a patient and painstaking selection of grapes and a strong bond with tradition.
