Dal Forno Romano 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 to traditional indigenous varieties of Corvina, Corvinone, Rodinella, Oseleta, and Croatina. The estate vineyards and farm are located where the slopes begin to rise toward the mountains and sit 1,000 feet above sea level. The 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.

Dal Forno Romano - Valpolicella 'Monte Lodoletta' 2016

This wine is a blend of 70 per cent Corvina with 20 per cent Rondinella and just 5 per cent each of Croatina and Oseleta.  It’s deep black-red in colour, and is dark and forceful, brooding, yet Rubenseque in aroma: a harmonious weave of dark chocolate, black cherry and elderberry, with the years in oak bringing a cedary refinement.  On the palate, it’s a treasure of a wine: deep, dark and broad, packed with earthy refinements and black-fruit, both severe yet soft and entrancing.
