Amarone Classico TB Bussola 2009 is a powerful red wine from the Valpolicella sub-region of the Veneto. The 2009 vintage provided excellent conditions for the traditional `appassimento` process, where grapes are dried for several months to concentrate sugars and flavours. This bottling offers a rich and opulent profile of raisins, dark chocolate and spicy oak. It is a full-bodied wine with a high alcohol content and a dense, velvety texture that reflects the intense concentration of the dried fruit.

Vinous
Bright red. Precise aromas of crushed red cherry, cinnamon, plum and clove. Suave and pure on the multilayered palate, with floral and sweet spicy elements dominating the ripe rich red cherry and berry flavors. Utterly explosive on the seamless finish, which features outstanding rising length, energy and precision. Already great to drink now, but will undergo a slow development in bottle. Reading 17.5% alcohol on the label would normally have me worried, but this wine is so smooth and harmonious (in fact, it’s more refined and deeper than Bussola’s knockout 2011 Amarone Classico) you’ll hardly notice. When it comes to making superlative Amarone wines, Bussola is right up there with Quintarelli and Dal Forno.Ian d'Agata1st May 2017
