Tommasi De Buris Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2010
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
Here is the anticipated latest release of Tommasi's special high-end release. The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva De Buris is the wine they want held to the highest standard. It celebrates the family's long winemaking history. The fruit is selected from a 2.4-hectare parcel in La Groletta with calcareous clay soils, medium texture and lots of rocks. The traditional blend used here is 65% Corvina, 22% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella and 8% Oseleta. The wine ages for five slow years in Slavonian oak, and just 8,392 bottles were made. There is deep intensity here, and the wine reveals its bouquet of dark fruits, spice, leather and earth with slow momentum. It offers an elegant mouthfeel with bright acidity and polished level of tannins that can only be achieved with age. However, the fruit at the core of this wine is well preserved, and the wine tastes much younger than it actually is. Of the three editions made so far (including 2008 and 2009), this 2010 vintage stands tallest. Drink date: 2023-2045. Score - 96. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Dec. 16, 2021)
