A shining example of the style, from one of our favourite producers! "Tommaso Bussola’s wines have received a good deal of critical acclaim over the last few years, and with good reason. These are remarkable wines of the highest level. The estate produces two lines of wines. In theory, the BG wines are more traditional in spirit while the TB wines are meant to be more modern," according to Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.

"Deep ruby with a rich, ample bouquet of spice and ripe red fruit confirmed on the full, layered palate," according to the importer. "The Speri family’s presence in the heart of Valpolicella goes back to 1874. Their vineyards (totaling 60 hectares/24 acres) are located in the finest districts of the Classico area. And every grape that goes into their wines is estate-grown and cultivated by the Speri family with just as much pride in the craft of viticulture – the hands-on, hard-working side of it – as the art of it. The vineyards are divided into three distinct crus: La Roverina, Sant’Urbano and La Roggia." Pair with red meats, perhaps game, or hard cheeses.

A must for collectors and fine wine lovers! Quintarelli produces its Amarone only in exceptional vintages, and in doing so, crafts the benchmark for all Amarone. Giuseppe Quintarelli passed away in 2012, and the estate now rests in the capable hands of his wife and children. "The 2007 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico was bottled seven months before I tasted it. Grapes undergo a four-month appassimento for extra concentration and intensity. Despite this heavy-handed winemaking technique (in which the clusters lose up to 30% of their water mass in the air-drying process), this is a surprisingly delicate and nuanced wine. The ageing process has definitely broken down and assimilated any of the hard edges that come from dried grapes. In its wake, the wine is polished and tight with a long, silky texture." Monica Larner from Wine Advocate
