WINE DESCRIPTION
Bussola Valpolicella Classico Superiore TB is a red wine produced by Tommaso Bussola in the Valpolicella Classico appellation of Italy. The wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties, including Corvina and Rondinella, grown in three separate vineyards that were planted on volcanic soils by Tomasso's uncle. The winemaking process involves a meticulous selection of grapes, followed by a period of drying to concentrate some of the sugars and fermentation in barrels, resulting in a full-bodied and complex wine with intense aromas of dried fruit, spices, and pipe tobacco. The wine's style is characterized by its power and long finish, making it a perfect choice for pairing with hearty meat dishes or aged cheeses.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Bussola Valpolicella Classico Superiore TB offers an intensity not usually found in Valpolicella Classico.The color is opaque, hinting at what is to come. The nose is intense with notes of prune jelly. The palate is rich with an unctuous density, balanced acidity, and ripe, chewy tannins. Pipe tobacco notes linger on the long finish. This can be enjoyed with slow-cooked dishes in winter or savored over a long after-dinner conversation. Drink within 10 years.
