As a value-driven Italian Pinot Grigio from an established Veneto producer, TOMMASI Pinot Grigio Le Rasse is crafted for youthful, crisp expression. Like nearly all entry-level Pinot Grigio, it is not intended for cellaring—the structure and winemaking style emphasize freshness and straightforward fruit, which fade quickly after bottling. Drinking within 1-2 years of vintage is optimal, with absolute maximum window of 3 years.

Food pairing

Best with light salads, seafood (shrimp, white fish, calamari), grilled vegetables, mild cheeses, antipasti, or as an aperitif.

Sustainability

Sustainability score: 6/10

Tommasi operates with significant attention to sustainability: solar energy at several facilities, recirculated water condensation for irrigation, vineyard cover crops, and lightweight bottles to reduce glass use. No full organic certification; integrated pest management (IPM) and minimized chemical use.

Tommasi is a well-established Veneto producer with strong sustainability initiatives relative to the scale of production, including greener energy, water conservation, lighter bottles, and participation in Italy’s Equalitas and VIVA wine sustainability programs. Practices fall short of organic or biodynamic standards but demonstrate meaningful environmental awareness. Transportation increases carbon footprint where shipped outside Europe.
