Tommaso Bussola er en af de absolutte Topproducenter af Amarone. Udover Valpolicella, Ripasso og Recioto producerer Tommaso Bussola tre Amaroner. Tommaso startede i 1977 på vingården hos sin onkel, og allerede i starten af 1980erne eksperimenterede Tommaso Bussola med en modernistisk stil og høstede med det samme stor anerkendelse både nationalt og internationalt. Udover Amarone Classico produceres Amarone TB samt Top-amaronen Amarone Vigneto Alto TB på 17% alkohol. Tommaso Bussolas Amarone vine er på samme tid kraftfulde og elegante.

Robert Parker skrev i 2013:
The Bussola family has been producing top-notch Amarone for decades. In a truly touching family tradition, some of the older wines are named “BG” after uncle Giuseppe Bussola who founded the estate and adopted a traditional winemaking style. Recent expressions are named “TB” after Tommaso Bussola who is responsible for winemaking since 1983 and represents a modernist style. This flight of new releases, particularly the trio of 2007 Amarones, is exceptional. Tommaso’s sons Paolo and Giuseppe have both recently joined the winemaking efforts.

Tommaso Bussola's 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico opens to warm tones of baking spice, ripe fruit, prune, cherry liqueur and cigar box. This is a very well made Amarone that boasts high levels of aromatic intensity and bold flavor extraction. There's nothing subtle about this big red wine made with air-dried grapes. Soft tannins are followed by rich layers of oak-driven spice and vanilla. |
