Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Tommasi's Amarone Classico blends Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone and a little Oseleta, with the grapes dried until February before fermentation and three years in large Slavonian oak. The traditional approach favours balance over sheer weight: dried cherry, raisin and date with cocoa, spice and tobacco, full-bodied and warm but carried by fresh acidity and firm, fine tannins.
