The Dal Forno family considered the idea of releasing their Amarone ten years after the harvest. If that plan had been implemented, this would be the vintage on the market now. The 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is a full and generous expression that delivers thick lines and robust flavors of dried blackberry, camphor ash, exotic cedar wood, licorice and tarry road pavement. This vintage saw average temperatures throughout the growing season with a few hailstorms along the way. Very dry weather led to some mild drought in July and August, with ensuing ripening and concentration of the clusters. I found this monumental wine to be irresistible when I first tasted it five years ago, and I consider it to have improved since then. This is one of the most complete and comprehensive vintages produced at Dal Forno, and it gives us an ample 360-degree view onto the might, brawn and potential of this icon wine from the Veneto. Its evolutionary track shows no sign of slowing down.

The 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella is one of the most sexy, open-knit young Dal Forno Amarones I can remember tasting. An enticing mélange of mocha, black cherry, bittersweet chocolate and leather captivates the senses. Incredibly open today, the 2009 can be enjoyed with minimal cellaring or aged for twenty years, perhaps beyond. Although the 2009 doesn't quite reach the heights of the truly epic vintages here, it comes very close and will provide considerable pleasure sooner than many of those wines. I don't think I have ever tasted a young Dal Forno Amarone with this much allure.

Rich, with aromatic herb and tarry smoke notes, this silky, supple red is framed by mouthwatering acidity and dusty tannins. Shows ripe and concentrated flavors of date, sun-dried cherry, forest floor and ground spice, displaying a sense of harmony and density that suggests a long future. The finish echoes the spice and sweet fruit character. Drink now through 2029. 1,830 cases made.

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.
