Bruno Tommasi

Where They Are Now

At Monte Castelon, the work remains focused on Valpolicella wine, with Amarone and Valpolicella styles at the core. These wines depend on place, tradition, and the discipline needed to shape them with consistency. The estate operates as a family-run winery rather than an industrial one, and that scale gives the wines a grounded, personal character tied to the continuity of the land. Tommasi’s outlook is shaped by both heritage and daily labor. The vineyard and cellar at Monte Castelon are part of a working family line, not separate stages in a production system, and Bruno Tommasi carries forward what earlier generations passed down. That inheritance gives the role weight, but also warmth: the work is exacting, yet it stays connected to the vineyards, the region, and the people who know the land best.

In Their Words “We love making wines here in Valpolicella because it’s our land. We were born here and we are lucky enough to have inherited these vineyards from previous generations.” The emphasis here is on place, inheritance, and the continuity of vineyard work. Bruno Tommasi frames the land as something handed down, with the vineyard understood as stewardship rather than ownership. “Making wine has always been my dream and now, with the help of my children, I have realised this dream.” The making of wine is presented as both personal work and family labor. At Bruno Tommasi’s side, the cellar is not separate from home; it is supported by family and made real through shared effort.
