This is very lifted and intense with treacle tart, licorice, light asphalt, chili and chocolate. Full body with very intense dried fruits like raisins, sultanas and prunes, but there's a nutmeg and clove undertone to it. Very chewy and intense on the finish. Big wine but racy and fresh. Stunning Amarone.
Producer
Dal Forno Romano
While the winery is recognized for its renowned Amarone della Valpolicella, there are two other wines that are produced from their estate vineyards in the same spirit of excellence, the Valpolicella Superiore, and the Vigna Seré. Although four generations of the Dal Forno family have owned this prime plot of land, the Dal Forno Romano winery was not founded until 1983. Romano Dal Forno, the man behind one of the world’s greatest Italian wines, was born right next to his family’s vineyards. He has grown up with a passion for wine, today, he is dedicated to his life’s work, developing unique viticultural and vinification techniques. Located in the Valley of Illasi, just east of Verona, Dal Forno Romano promotes the ideal balance between tradition and technology. The resulting wines are exceptionally concentrated and full of intense aromas and flavors. His extreme dedication to quality and high-standards has brought Dal Forno to the top of Valpolicella’s most celebrated and venerated producers.
