Bussola Tommaso s.s.a. di Bussola Paolo & Giuseppe

In Negrar di Valpolicella, Bussola Tommaso works with the two great *appassimento* denominations of the Veronese area, both DOCG. Corvina Veronese and Rondinella are the base: from their concentration come Amarone della Valpolicella, a structured red with at least 14% alcohol and twenty-four months of mandatory aging, and Recioto della Valpolicella, a sweet version available as a passito or spumante. These two wines share the method—grapes left to dry before vinification—but diverge in outcome, one taut and austere, the other playing on controlled sweetness. It is a restricted and coherent repertoire, where *appassimento* is not an effect but the very grammar of the house. Technical integrity and soil identity remain the declared references, from the selection of grape clusters to the long rest in the cellar. The winery welcomes visitors: stop for a guided tasting and follow the journey from dried grapes to the glass, directly comparing the dry register of Amarone with the sweet one of Recioto in its two versions.
