Tommasi Amarone and Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Gift Set, Veneto, Italy: A gift of two Veneto classic, from world renown producer, Tommasi. This Tommasi Amarone and Ripasso duo contrast dried-cherry and cocoa intensity with ripe Valpolicella fruit and spice; both show savory depth and warming oak. Try the Amarone with aged Asiago or braised beef; try the Ripasso with bean stews or mushroom pasta. This refined duo showcases the depth and warmth of the Veneto. The Amarone layers dried cherry, cocoa, and fig with notes of espresso and cedar, while the Ripasso offers juicy red berries and savoury spice. Both wines finish long and velvety. Both the Amarone and a Ripasso Valpolicella can be enjoyed with rich Venetian foods like Fagioli di Lamon and Asiago cheese. Drink: 2025-2030. 27991 13% D 1500 mL  $97.95 Score: 95/100.
