Wine Advocate Review:
The Bussola 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Alto TB opens to dark and thickly concentrated appearance with a deep garnet color and hints of amber or unpolished copper at the rims. The bouquet is powerful and impactful, hitting the senses with rather blunt and dramatic notes of kirsch, blackberry preserves, candied plum, rum cake and marron glacé. The blend is 45% Corvina, 30% Corvinone and 25% Rondinella fermented in oak for 60 days and aged in new and neutral oak for a very long 90 months.
