Dal Forno Romano Valpolicella Superiore 2017

Product description

The Dal Forno family has been making wine since 1983. Located in Val D’Illasi, the estate consists of 65 acres of vines planted with traditional indigenous varieties of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. Their loose, alluvial soils, meticulous pruning and scrupulous viticultural techniques ensure remarkable-quality grapes. The Dal Fornos use traditional methods to grow the finest fruit, and then employ modern techniques to produce the best wines, classic in expression and modern in purity.

Dense, sweet and floral gargantuan. Super concentrated, rich and sweet, with notes of charred red pepper, oak and spice. An approachable wine, due to the extraordinary summer climate.  

95 Points - James Suckling

Pungent nose of violets, amarena cherries, dried figs and lightly charred oak. Some toffee notes emerge with air, together with more pressed flowers. Not so much full-bodied as full-flavored, with silky, fine and polished tannins.
