When Veneto winemaking legend Giuseppe Quintarelli was asked years ago to name the region’s next superstar, he didn’t hesitate: Tommaso Bussola.

One of the great producers of the Valpolicella Classico area, Tommaso Bussola owes much of his success due to rare old vines from ancient clones. The Ca’ del Laito Valpolicella is made in a bold, Ripasso style that highlights the quality of Tommaso’s raw materials. This is a showy red wine with a lot of personality and robust fruit.
