OVERVIEW
Producer Story
The name Tommasi has meant “the strength of the family” for four generations. It’s also synonymous with Valpolicella and Amarone, the classic wines of Italy’s northeast Veneto region. And while they’re always looking forward, the family also pays the utmost respect to tradition and the land. In fact, those are the principles that drive their winemaking and have resulted in the powerful Palanca wines that live up to the Tommasi name.
Geography
Like a bubbly Prosecco? Enjoy your Pinot Grigio? Thanks to you, in the past decade the Veneto region became Italy’s biggest producer of wine. The Veneto stretches across northeastern Italy, from the Alpine border with Austria to the lagoons of Venice. The northern location makes Veneto a great source for grapes producing crisp, white wines, more than two-thirds of the region’s total production.
Varietal / Type
Every white wine grape variety can have myriad expressions, depending on where it is grown and how the winemaker chooses to style the wine. The same grape can produce both a dry white wine and a sweet white wine, one that’s crisp and refreshing or honeyed and mellow.
Most wine drinkers know the popular international varieties, like Chardonnay, Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, which are made into white wine in most of the world’s winemaking regions. But there are hundreds more to discover. Think of the popularity of white wines like Pinot Grigio or Moscato, which only a few years ago were largely unknown to U.S. consumers.
