ABOUT THIS WINE
Tommasi Baciorosa Appassionato is a rosé wine from the Veneto region of Italy, produced by Tommasi Viticoltori. It is made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which are traditional varietals of the Valpolicella area. The winery, founded in 1902, is a family-owned estate now managed by the fourth generation, with a philosophy centered on indigenous grapes and traditional methods. The name 'Baciorosa' translates to 'the pink kiss,' and 'Appassionato' may suggest a focus on concentrated fruit, potentially referencing the appassimento technique.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Tommasi Baciorosa Appassionato undergoes a short period of skin maceration to achieve its color and initial flavor profile. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, ranging from 15°C to 18°C, over a period of 10 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel for approximately four months. This process is designed to preserve the wine's freshness and primary fruit characteristics.
