Winery transactions: Tommasi invests in Puglia, with Tenuta Eméra and Cantina Moros: The current situation for the wine market is not the best, but a “cultural beverage” that has accompanied humanity for millennia has a long future ahead of it, and there are those who believe in it and continue to invest in it, with a particular focus on wine tourism. One such investor is Tommasi Family Estates, the Tommasi family’s wine group, one of the most important in Italy, with over 800 hectares of vineyards and a turnover of €31.9 million in 2024. The group’s heart is in Valpolicella, but it has eight wine estates in seven regions - Tommasi in Veneto, including the jewel Villa De Buris, Tenuta di Caseo in Lombardy, Casisano in Montalcino and Poggio al Tufo in the Tuscan Maremma, Masseria Surani in Puglia, Paternoster in Basilicata, a project in Umbria in Orvieto, the acquisition of Ammura, an estate on Mount Etna in Sicily in 2022, and partnerships in Chianti Classico with La Massa and in Friuli Venezia Giulia in Collio with Marco Felluga Russiz Superiore. And now it is also expanding in Puglia, with the acquisition of two prestigious estates in Salento, namely Tenuta Eméra in Lizzano and Cantina Moros in Guagnano, created by winemaker Claudio Quarta, who, according to a statement, “after a long and prestigious career, has announced his retirement”, entrusting the two estates to the Tommasi family.
