TOMMASI RAFAEL 2022 VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO SUPERIORE CL 75
Valpolicella Classico is the wine that tells the story of the region, and we couldn't agree more.
Elegant is the adjective that best describes the character of Rafaèl, an unmistakable wine closely linked to the history of the Tommasi Family.
Sensory description
Bright ruby red, it opens with refined intensity on floral and fruity notes, with ripe cherry in evidence. On the palate it is subtle and velvety and conquers with the tasty and persistent freshness of the fruit that makes it smooth, light and of elegant character.
Pairings
Very versatile, it is excellent with pasta dishes with full-bodied sauces, roasts and white meats, medium-aged cheeses. Also try it with spicy oriental dishes and tasty fish soups.
