The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella is compelling. With a little air, the tannins begin to soften, releasing a myriad of intense dark aromas and flavors. Bittersweet chocolate, cloves, violets, plums and blackberry jam cover every inch of the palate in a stunning, headspinning Amarone that captures all of the best qualities of the year. When Romano Dal Forno's wines are on, there is nothing quite like them, and that is certainly the case here. If opened young, the 2008 needs a little air. Actually, a lot of air.

Production was skipped over in 2007 due to extreme hail damage. The fruit that would normally be destined to Amarone went to the lower tier Valpolicella Superiore instead. The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta marks a return to a slightly cooler vintage with a longer growing season slowed down during the summer's moderate temperatures. Indeed, harvest was wrapped up during the first days of November. The blend is mostly Corvina, at about 60%, with smaller parts Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina and Oseleta. The new Dal Forno winery was finished in 2008, complete with the unique vacuum-sealed fermentation tasks that help to avoid any intrusive oxygen during winemaking. Indeed, this wine is balanced and elegant with fruit that is still crunchy and very much alive. The tannins are firm and nicely integrated into the wine's thick, fleshy consistency. This vintage is characterized by a very elegant and graceful approach, which must be taken into context given the enormity of a wine of this caliber. Happily, there is no doubt that this vintage should still evolve steadily over time. <br/>

Game and ashy smoke details lead the way in this ripe red, followed by juicy plumped cherry, date, dark chocolate and woodsy spice notes on the plush-textured palate. Velvety tannins give this some brawn, but this is beautifully knit and balanced, showing an overall sense of finesse. Delivers a lasting finish of fruit and spice. Drink now through 2033. 415 cases imported. –AN

Zwar ist dieses Weingut vor allem wegen seines Amarone della Valpolicella berühmt, es produziert aber noch zwei andere Weine von seinen Weinbergen, die von demselben Sinn für höchste Qualität zeugen: Valpolicella Superiore und Vigna Seré. Dieses erstklassige Grundstück ist bereits seit vier Generationen im Besitz der Familie Dal Forno, das Weingut wurde jedoch erst 1983 gegründet. Romano Dal Forno, der Mann hiner einem der weltbesten italienischen Weine, kam direkt neben den Weinbergen seiner Familie zur Welt. Er wuchs bereits mit einer Leidenschaft für Wein auf, und heute sieht er seine Lebensaufgabe in der Entwicklung einzigartiger Weinbau- und Vinifikationstechniken. Gelegen im Tal Illasi östlich von Verona, verfolgt Dal Forno Romano die ideale Balance zwischen Tradition und Technologie. Die Weine, die sich daraus ergeben, sind außergewöhnlich konzentriert und voll intensiver Aromen und Geschmacksnuancen. Sein extremer Sinn für Qualität und hohe Standards hat Dal Forno an die Spitze der berühmtesten und geschätztesten Erzeuger von Valpolicella geführt.
