TOMMASO BUSSOLA

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Alto 2012

- 95 points -

Another fine Amarone showing prodigious complexity, refinement and scintillating length. Oak-derived coffee bean aromas nestle amid camphor, cloves, licorice, menthol and alpine amaro liqueur. This feels sweeter, richer and more primary than its 2012 Riserva sibling, yet with no less capacity to develop beautifully over time. I look forward to greater complexity, sure to come with further bottle development. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.
