Earlier this month we visited the winery Tomasso Bussola. They make some of the best Amarone and Valpolicella anywhere. While the wines are getting expensive, they are still affordable and have not hit the prohibitive pricing of some of their neighbors. Stock up now! Our host and tour guide was Giuseppe Bussola, the son of Tomasso. The visit was spectacular.
Bussola is a winery that is always experimenting and trying to improve. They have great vineyards but they also keep working and growing in the cellar as well. The tour of the cellar was fascinating as well as was tasting thru a bunch of their wines.

The Bussola wines seem to have a house style with many of them having just a touch of residual sugar. I found them delicious. And, if ever in Valpolicella, a visit is highly recommended!
