Tommasi Rafael Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2022
Not Yet Rated (Last vtg. 93 Points, Wine Enthusiast)
Tommasi’s brand new Rafaèl Valpolicella comes from the estate’s oldest vineyards and is absolutely bursting with energy right out of the gates. This is easily one of the best under-$20 bottles you can find from the Veneto. It overdelivers in spades. It’s big and juicy with red berry, black cherry and floral aromas and some savory and floral notes on the mouth as well that balances the ripe fruit, earth and spice. This is one of those red wines that absolutely shines at a table packed with good food.
