Bussola is a 37-acre estate in the Veneto. It was founded and is still owned and operated by Tommaso Bussola, who started working on his uncle’s small family wine estate in 1977. By 1983 Bussola was making his own wines and in 1992 he built a new winery. The estate makes Valpolicella and Amarone. Gambero Rosso has often awarded its highest rating of 3 glasses to the estate’s Recioto della Valpolicella. Tommaso Bussola added his first name to his wines in the 1990s, after completing a makeover of his estate.
