"You can tell a Dal Forno wine a mile away thanks to the overall intensity and concentration of his well-crafted blends. Three years of oak aging has shaped aromas of Spanish cedar, chocolate, cola, blackberry jam and cherry liqueur. The wine is so thick, it moves like molasses in the glass. -M.L." (12/11) |

"Romano Dal Forno's 2006 Valpolicella Superiore is dark, rich and powerful. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame black cherries, mocha, licorice and spices in this deep, broad-shouldered wine. The 2006 boasts tons of depth and richness in a sophisticated, sleek style. I was quite surprised to see the 2006 drink well with just a few hours of air. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018." (02/11) |

"Lightly chewy tannins and aromatic subnotes of pencil shavings, dried thyme and smoke support flavors of candied cherry, licorice string, dried cranberry and bresaola. This is supple overall, and the tannins provide modest structure to the creamy finish. Best from 2014 through 2022. 200 cases imported. -AN" (06/12) |
Description:
"Valpolicella, as we conceive it to be, is a wine which can be defined from a multitude of related wines by the particular methodology we use to produce it. In fact, we faithfully follow the same qualitative and procedural criteria that we use for Amarone. It is enough to just think that, since the 2002 vintage, all grapes that go into the making of Valpolicella are subjected to a light but advantageous drying process which lasts around one and a half months. This process allows the wine to achieve an optimal balance between organoleptic concentration and olfactory freshness."
"Valpolicella offers hints of blueberry, blackberry, cherry and chocolate which emerge gradually as the wine breathes. The potent tannins, which give structure to this product, are in perfect symbiosis with the velvety aromas of sweet spices and jam which envelop the palate and excite the senses. It is suffice to say that time can do nothing other than benefit a wine so extremely fresh and fruity." -Winery
WINERY:
"Romano Dal Forno was born in 1957 in the village of Capovilla, which is situated a few kilometres from Illasi, it is in this environment, where wine is not just a product but more a philosophy of life, that the Dal Forno family have nurtured their vineyards for almost four generations. At 22 years of age, together with his new wife Loretta, Romano met Giuseppe Quintarelli who was to prove to be his guiding light: Giuseppe opened Romanoâs eyes to a new way of producing wine and of planting vines, which made him concentrate on the importance of quality over quantity."
"The 1983 grape harvest produced the first great results for the company: from this year onwards 22 vintages of Amarone della Valpolicella have been produced and 25 Valpolicella Superiore DOC. It can probably be said that up until now the finesse of our marketing and communication strategy has perhaps suffered â partly due to our passion for our family and product â as our desire for excellence has taken priority over that of growth. We are enormously proud of the recognition received from consumers all over the world , however we believe that pride must never take priority over seeking to improve our product where viable." -Winery
