About this wine
Tommaso Bussola TB Recioto, Valpolicella Classico
Tommaso Bussola produces this Recioto from the oldest vines in his family vineyards in the Valpolicella Classico zone. The fruit comes from hillside parcels where Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grow in limestone and volcanic soils. The wine follows the region's historic tradition, in which the best bunches are selected for drying. This process concentrates the sugars and flavours, resulting in a sweet red wine that serves as the spiritual ancestor to Amarone.
The winemaking involves drying the grapes in wooden crates for several months. Fermentation occurs slowly in stainless steel during the winter, but it is halted to retain natural residual sugar. Winemaker Tommaso Bussola ages the wine in new French oak barriques for over twenty-four months. This maturation period balances sweetness with structure and integrates fruit with wood.
The nose delivers aromas of black cherry, dried fig and dark chocolate. On the palate, the wine is rich and viscous, showing flavours of plum jam, raisins and sweet spices. A line of acidity ensures the finish remains clean. This Recioto is a prestigious addition to any cellar, offering a rare look at the heights of traditional Veronese viticulture.
