    • Description

      The 2011 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is another extreme wine from Romano Dal Forno and his family. It is almost impossible to wrap your head around the intensity and richness that is so expertly delivered by this monumental wine. The bouquet is sweet and heavy with luscious tones of black fruit, prune, dried rose bud, cherry liqueur, spice and tarry asphalt. The wine oozes forth with impactful thickness and generosity. Rather than a companion to a meal, this wine is a meal in itself. It goes over and beyond traditional Amarone.

    Dal forno Romano

    Winery Dal Forno Romano was established by Romano Dal Forno in the early 1980s when he decided to create a new way of producing wines that put an emphasis on quality over quantity. The first grape harvest for Dal forno Romano was in 1983 and since then, 22 vintages of Amarone della Valpolicella has been made, along with 25 Valpolicella Superiore DOC. For the Dal forno Romano winery, the passion for the family and the product has led to a desire for to perfect their craft. Only the finest grapes after rigorous selection are chosen during the harvesting for their exquisite, classic wines. Dal forno Romano produces three main wines, with Amarone being their specialty. The winemaking process involves extracting as much of the juice of the grapes as possible and fermenting the sugars out in the wood using barriques. This method gives the oak a significant role in the ageing process.
