Ca' Florian is Tommasi's single-vineyard flagship Amarone from the old Ca' Florian hillside in the Classico zone, showing dense, chocolatey concentration with elegant tannin structure and long mineral finish.
What it pairs with
-
Brasato al Amarone con polenta
The canonical Veronese pairing; Ca' Florian's chocolate-plum notes are ideal in the braise. -
Rack of lamb with rosemary
Firm tannins and dried herbs echo the rosemary crust; the wine's acidity balances lamb fat.
History
Ca' Florian was created by Tommasi to express the specific character of their old Ca' Florian hillside vineyard in the Classico zone; a step up in concentration and ageing potential from the estate's standard Amarone Classico, released in small quantities.
