Tasting Notes

Phenomenal nose – like cherry cake mix plus liquorice, milk chocolate and vanilla essence. Very modern and luscious. So impressive, with really great length and concentration. A Valpolicella unlike any other! 70% Corvina/Corvinone; 20% Rondinella; 5% Croatina; 5% Oseleta. Made from 100% dried fruit (approximately 30 days), fermentation in stainless steel at about 30'C and aged in barriques for 36 months, in bottle for 12 months. Thick and purple. The smell of cherry-chocolate liqueurs and figs and very pronounced coconut. There is something about this wine that reminds me of a rich Bourbon - roasted coconut, dried fruit steeped in liqueur and coffee beans; powerful and brooding. Super-concentrated, essence of Valpolicella.

ProducerRomano Dal Forno

Romano Dal Forno took control of his Valpolicella wine estate at the age of 22 and quickly turned the Veneto’s maestro, Giuseppe Quintarelli for advice. A policy of low yields and an uncompromising drive for quality has established the Dal Forno family as the producers amongst the finest producing from dried grapes - an otherworldly Amarone, a complex Valpolicella Superiore and a deliciously sweet Recioto. The area has been proven, by Romano, as a magnificent terroir for Valpolicella wines. Dal Forno is now one of the most collectable and sought-after wines in Italy.
