Tommaso Bussola Amarone della Valpolicella Classico TB Riserva 2013

Tommaso Bussola’s Amarone della Valpolicella Classico TB Riserva 2013 is a striking expression of one of Italy’s most iconic red wines, combining power, precision, and remarkable depth. Made from the classic Valpolicella grapes Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, it reflects both the tradition of the region and Bussola’s reputation for elevating Amarone through meticulous craftsmanship.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Amarone typically shows a deep garnet hue with dark, concentrated intensity. The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of ripe black cherry, plum, dried fig, sweet spice, cocoa, tobacco, and hints of balsamic complexity. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins, generous concentration, and a long, persistent finish. The dried-fruit richness is balanced by freshness and structure, giving the wine impressive aging potential; in a strong vintage like 2013, it should continue to develop beautifully over many years, gaining further nuance and elegance.

Production
Sourced from the Valpolicella Classico zone in Veneto, where hillside vineyards and well-draining soils help produce grapes of concentration and character, this wine is rooted in the traditional Amarone style. The fruit is typically harvested by hand, then carefully selected and dried using the appassimento method before fermentation, which intensifies flavor, texture, and aromatic complexity. Extended aging in wood helps build structure and refine the wine’s signature richness.

Food & Serving
This is a natural match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, game, roast lamb, aged cheeses, and slow-cooked Italian cuisine. Serve at around 16–18°C, and decant for at least an hour—longer if the bottle has been aging for several years—to allow the wine’s layers of aroma and texture to open fully.

Producer
Tommaso Bussola is one of the most respected names in Valpolicella, known for producing deeply expressive wines that bridge traditional Amarone methods with a modern focus on quality and precision. The estate has earned strong recognition for its richly textured, ageworthy wines and is widely regarded as a benchmark producer in the region.
