When people list Valpolicella's top estates, Bussola usually comes up alongside Quintarelli and Dal Forno, and the Amarone Classico is the easiest way into that company. It costs far less than those names suggest and holds its own against much pricier bottles. Tommaso Bussola was a stonemason before he inherited his uncle Giuseppe's estate and made his first vintage in 1983. You can still see that past in the stonework of the cellar he finished in 1993. These days his son Paolo makes the wine, and Tommaso spends most of his time in the vineyards. The house picks by hand from hillside vines around Negrar, keeps only healthy bunches, and dries them naturally in the fruttaio for four months. That drying process is called appassimento, and it's where Amarone's concentration comes from. This is a serious dry red from a family estate, and it rewards a long dinner more than a quick glass.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Beef braised in Amarone, risotto all'Amarone, Veronese pastissada (slow-cooked stew), roast lamb shoulder, aged Monte Veronese or Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic Amarone Classico profile: dried black cherry, plum and raisin, with hints of cocoa, sweet spice and something faintly savoury. Grapes dried for months typically give a full, plush body, firm but polished tannins and enough acidity to keep it lively, finishing dry, warm and long. Think of Port's richness without the sweetness.
