About Tommasi:
Tommasi has proudly presided over Italy’s Veneto region for over 120 years, with wines that are both renowned for their superior quality and consistently regarded as reference points for their respective appellations. As one of the single most influential producers in Italy, the winery is committed to sustainable practices and continues to craft each wine from 100% estate-owned vineyards.
About this Wine:
Tommasi Filodora represents the best of Prosecco: coming from Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, the most prestigious areas of the Prosecco appellation, this fresh sparkling wine is the perfect sparkler for any occasion. It is not a frivolous wine, though: it is the result of careful selection and vinification of grapes that are grown on one small estate. The wine has been part of the Tommasi portfolio since 2012, when the winery celebrated its 110th anniversary; it was important to the family to begin producing wine in the area that their home region of the Veneto is perhaps best known for.
Vineyard:
Vine Planting: Tenuta Filodora consists of 37 acres of vineyards located in the town of Miane, in the heart of the DOCG Prosecco region, halfway between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. A green hillside located only a few minutes from the town of Valdobbiadene, this is one the most prestigious areas of the appellation. The vines average around 35 years of age, with much lower yields than are permitted in the region.
Winemaking:
Variety: 100% Glera
Fermentation: Primary fermentation of 10 days in stainless steel tanks, then re-fermented in large tanks to give a fragrant, light and persistent sparkling wine.
Second fermentation (Charmat method) for 30 days, also in stainless steel tanks.
Alcohol: 12.5%
Tasting Note:
Light straw yellow and bright. Elegant, white and lively foam, with very fine and thin perlage. Clean and spicy it has an elegant, floral nose with hints of acacia and wisteria flowers. Pleasantly intense, dry, easy to drink, with a light almond aftertaste.
