I am not sure I have ever tasted a better Recioto than Bussola's 1998 Recioto della Valpolicella TB. An explosive bouquet of raisins, figs, plums, truffle oil, smoke, and black fruits galore soars from the glass of this amazing wine. It possesses great richness, incredible ripeness, and fabulous balance as well as surprising sweetness counter-balanced by good structure and acidity. This is a majestic, potentially immortal Recioto that should drink well for 15+ years. Readers who have not yet discovered the wines of Tommaso Bussola need to move!
