TOMMASO BUSSOLA

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Alto 2009

- 95 points -

Fully saturated inky ruby. Superb nuance and lift to the aromas of raspberry, kirsch, violet, licorice pastille and sweet spices. Wonderfully sappy and energetic in the mouth, with outstanding energy and lift to its red and darker fruit, floral and mineral flavors. This powerful wine showcases an exhilarating balance of sweetness and acidity, not to mention noble tannins that provide backbone to the fleshy ripe fruit on the building, violet aftertaste. Despite the lesser vintage, this is deeper and more concentrated more than Bussola’s memorable 2009 TB Amarone. (16.5% alcohol)
