LA BOTTE MAGNIFICA A REAL ARK OF DREAMS AND PASSION

Our “Magnifica” barrel is one of the largest barrels in the world, a true heritage born and created in Italy for the 110th anniversary of the Tommasi winery.

It took life from 5.000 kg (11,000 ponds) of the best oak, for a total volume of 40 cubic meters (1,400 cubic feet) and a capacity of 33.300 liters. (8,800 gallons).

It is in Slavonian wood that we refine our Amarone preferring a traditional refinement in large barrels.

This PRIVATE cooking & wellness experience includes:

  • Guided tour of the entire winery
  • Visit of “La Magnifica” barrel cellar
  • Cooking Class with professional Chef
  • Lunch with the courses from the class
  • Wines for the wine pairing lunch
  • Thermarium and pampering at “Vinotherapy”

The precious Tommasi wines hold a secret for your Beauty: Valpolicella and Amarone have given rise to a Cosmetic and Dermatological Collection.

The secret of Wine Therapy lies in Resveratrol, a powerful polyphenol antioxidant found in native red grapes and therefore in the Classic Wines of Valpolicella.

Enjoy an afternoon of relaxation and well-being at Terme della Valpolicella, with indoor thermal pools, outdoor pool, thermarium and pampering at “Vinotherapy” to discover the benefits of Valpolicella grapes.
