The 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is a beautifully complete wine, even at this young stage in its life. You feel the youth of the wine in the tightness of the tannins and in the finely knit texture of its concentrated flavor profile. The big surprise is the wine's fresh acidity that has been carefully safeguarded despite the heat of the vintage and the drying process so deftly executed at this landmark estate. The wine shows no sign of oxidation or evolution, not yet. There is intricate fruit layering with cherry, blackberry, spice and mesquite delivered with such precision, that level of detail defies the very bold and opulent essence of the wine. It has only just started its evolutionary journey.

There is a massive amount of pleasure to be found in the 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta. It blends elegance with power while contrasting rich dark fruits against sweet herbal tones and spices to create a seductive expression from start to finish. Cherry and plum sauce, lavender, mint and sage can all be found upon first pour, yet it’s the developing notes of rum cake, mocha and licorice that complete the picture perfectly. This is velvety and pliant in texture yet not weighty, all balanced by juicy acids, tart fruits and just a hint of grippy tannins. Dark chocolate mixed with salty minerals under an air of sweet violet florals resonates throughout the finale. All of that said, the endnote here is remarkably fresh, as the 2012 never becomes tiring. This is firing on all cylinders yet with medium-term cellaring potential - but good luck keeping your hands off of it today.

A velvety, full-bodied version, loaded with blackberry coulis, baked black cherry and tar-tinged smoke flavors that ripple across the palate. Offers lovely accents of dried mint, tobacco, iron and anise that echo on the firm finish. A powerhouse, with plenty in reserve. Best from 2022 through 2032.

Dal Forno Romano
Cave réputée pour ses célèbres Amarone della Valpolicella, Dal Forno Romano est également à l’origine de deux autres vins élaborés dans le même esprit d’excellence à partir de ses propres vignobles : la Valpolicella Superiore et la Vigna Seré. Même si ce terroir de premier plan est passé entre les mains de quatre générations de la famille Dal Forno, la cave elle-même n’a été fondée qu’en 1983. Romano Dal Forno, créateur de l’un des plus grands vins italiens, est né et a grandi au milieu des vignes familiales. Animé d’une passion pour le vin, il lui dédie l’œuvre de sa vie, développant des techniques viticoles et œnologiques uniques. Niché dans la vallée d’Illasi, à l’est de Vérone, Dal Forno Romano privilégie un équilibre parfait entre tradition et technologie. Les cuvées qui en découlent se caractérisent par une concentration exceptionnelle et une abondance d’arômes et de saveurs intenses. Vouant un culte à la qualité et à des exigences rigoureuses, Romano Dal Forno a érigé Dal Forno au premier rang des vignerons de Valpolicella les plus adulés, voire vénérés.
