2010 Tommaso Bussola Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, Veneto, Italy (750ml)

Product Info

TASTING NOTE:

A rich, harmonious red, showing lovely integration of the fine-grained tannins, spicy minerality and flavors of date, mandarin orange peel, dried cherry and espresso. Lightly mouthwatering throughout, with a long finish of fragrant tobacco and spice. Drink now through 2026.

WINEMAKER'S NOTE:

The wine, of garnet-russet hue, is slightly sweet, warm, robust, full, harmonious, velvety with a most satisfying touch of bitterness.

It is the ideal wine with game and has no rivals as an accompaniment to hard cheeses. But its most characteristic role is as an after-dinner wine, for sipping in moments of intimacy, or for fuelling lively post-prandial conversation. It is the classic wine of friendship.
