This was an excellent vintage in much of Italy, but unfortunately the weather was not as pleasant in this specific area of the Valpolicella. The season saw a lot of rain, and a good amount of fruit was cut and left on the ground because it could not be used. Considering these difficulties, Michele Dal Forno tells me he is "more than happy with the results." I tasted the 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta next to the 2009 vintage, and having these two wines side by side reinforces just how different they are. The 2010 vintages is sharper, more pointed and direct in comparison, and there is a tiny point of sourness on the close. This wine does not reach the same threshold for fullness, density or richness. It does come close. The wine's residual sugar measures between 5 and 6 grams per liter, which is normal for this wine, and the bouquet is redolent of familiar black fruit, raisin and spice. However, the wine feels a bit stuck in its tracks at the moment and is evidently experiencing a shy phase in its evolution. It has retreated.

Like a gymnast, this focused red shows both power and grace. Finely meshed flavors of blackberry puree, fig cake and Earl Grey tea leaf are framed by refined, dusty tannins, with a lasting finish expands on the palate with spice and smoky mineral details. Drink now through 2030.

Moderately saturated ruby-red. Dark plums, botanical herbs, and sweet pipe tobacco on the perfumed nose. Then ripe, dense and suave, with nicely focused dark plum and spicy flavors. The finish is very long, refine and pure. This is slightly lighter in style than usual for a Dal Forno Amarone, but is very much in the style of the 2010 vintage; I love this wine’s balance and lighter-bodied than usual personality. A blend of 55% Corvina, 15% Rondinella, 15% Croatina, 10% Oseleta, and 5% Corvinone, the Croatina adds flesh and sweetness to the final blend, while the Oseleta and Corvinone provide backbone. Romano Dal Forno told me he was both surprised and very happy with this wine, as initially he didn’t think he’d be able to make Amarone at all in the difficult 2010 vintage. In ultimate analysis, this is a lovely wine that offers relatively early appeal for a Dal Forno Amarone.

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.
