In 1977, in the classic heart of Valpolicella, with vineyards scattered between the municipality of Negrar and the hamlet of San Peretto, the oenological history of Tommaso Bussola was born, when he began working in his uncle Giuseppe's wine farm.
From the beginning he was able to impose his will to enhance the absolute quality of the wines produced, through careful and careful practices both in the vineyard and in the cellar, so much so that he became a great interpreter, as well as a point of reference for the appellation.
With a very personal style of combining precision and elegance with the extraction richness and management of ageing woods, today, assisted by his sons Paolo and Giuseppe, he always continues to amaze, imposing himself with products of absolute and very high value. Read more

| Harvest | The grapes for the production of our Amarone Classico are selected in mid-September, placed in small plastic crates and taken to the drying loft where they remain for 4 months to dry naturally. |
| Wine making | In January, the grapes are carefully selected and crushed in special fermenters where, after about 15 days of maceration, fermentation with selected yeasts begins. Over the next 50 days, frequent pumping over and numerous delestages are carried out to submerge the skins. After racking, the wine is taken to steel tanks to decant from the coarser lees. After about 20 days it is racked and taken to wood where it finishes its fermentation and maturation. |
