The 2005 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico TB possesses wonderful inner perfume, mid-palate density and fabulous overall balance. Cinnamon, cloves, plums, black cherries and licorice are some of the nuances that emerge from this soft, enveloping Amarone. The plushness and generosity of the fruit is quite beautiful. The 2005 is also approachable with a minimum of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020.
Tommaso Bussola remains a benchmark producer of fine Amarone and Recioto. His wines are remarkable for their textural richness, polish and overall class. The Amarone Vigneto Alto in particular is one of Italy’s reference-point wines.
