Bussola Ca' del Laito Ripasso Valpolicella 2020

When Veneto legend Giuseppe Quintarelli was asked years ago to name the region’s next superstar, he didn’t hesitate: Tommaso Bussola. His prediction was realized in 1999 when Tommaso’s 1995’s were released. Among the countless accolades he received, Gambero Rosso gave him the first of many Tre Bicchieris (highest wine rating). Despite being the estate’s standard wines, the Ca’del Laito selections are near the summit of the Valpolicella pyramid. Only estate fruit is used, including declassified wine from top sites like Alto, Soto el Barbi, Casali & Ca’del Laito. The Valpolicella is made in a bold, Ripasso style that highlights the quality of Tommaso’s raw materials.
