Tommasi Viticoltori

What Tommasi Viticoltori does

Tommasi Viticoltori is a fourth-generation, family-owned Italian wine producer headquartered in Pedemonte di Valpolicella (Verona), founded in 1902. The company produces a portfolio of 30+ wines under the Tommasi and Tommasi Family Estates brands, spanning Valpolicella Classica appellations (Amarone, Ripasso, Valpolicella, Recioto, Crearo, Rafaèl), Lake Garda denominations (Lugana, Bardolino, Custoza, Chiaretto, Soave), and broader Italian regions (Brunello di Montalcino, Primitivo di Manduria, Aglianico del Vulture). Production is anchored in 242 hectares of directly managed vineyards in Verona — including Cru sites such as La Groletta, Conca d'Oro, Ca' Florian, and Rafaèl — with the broader Family Estates portfolio covering 780 hectares across Italy. The winemaking platform relies on traditional methods (appassimento grape drying for 110+ days, Ripasso second fermentation on Amarone pomace, Slavonian oak aging in large botti), balanced with modern oenology, and features the Guinness World Record La Magnifica barrel (333 hectoliters) at the Pedemonte winery.

The business operates three primary revenue streams: (1) bottled wine sales through a direct-to-consumer channel anchored by tommasiwinehospitality.com e-commerce and the estate wine shop; (2) international wholesale distribution to HoReCa and trade accounts in 85+ countries; and (3) wine tourism and hospitality, including tastings and tours of the Cantina Magnifica. Pricing spans €8.90 for everyday whites and rosés to €75.00 for Ca' Florian Amarone Riserva, with the premium Il Sestante sub-brand positioned at €59.00 per SKU. Marketing relies on earned media (James Suckling 90–93 points, Decanter, Gambero Rosso, AIS Vitae, VINOUS), wine-critic coverage, wine-tour hospitality, the Tommasi magazine, and the Tommasi Naturae sustainability platform. The customer base is diversified across wine enthusiasts, the HoReCa channel, and international wine trade, with no material individual account concentration disclosed.
