Hi Dan,

*IMHO* probably the best Amarone nowadays are made from:

a - Quintarelli
b - Masi
c - Viviani
d - Romano Dal Forno
e - Tenuta Sant'Antonio


"a,b,c" are in the Classical area
"d,e" are in the "spread" area

"a" and "d" are very, very expensive wine.

I prefer "e" Amarone , good wine, reasonable price (around 40 euro, at
producer's point of sale).

There are a lot of winemaker in Valpolicella and Valpantena making good
Amarone, as not famous as the 5 above (e.g. Speri - Sant'Urbano 25 euro)


Just my 2 cent worth
