Dal Forno Romano - Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG - Rouge - 2015

Wine:

The 2015 Red Amarone della Valpolicella is a masterpiece, without doubt one of the greatest successes of Italy to date, according to Parker... Produced only in the great years from the oldest vines of the estate, it deploys phenomenal aromas of fruit coupled with a powerful finish, with flavors of black fruits, spices, camphor, and toast. The berries are aged for 3 months, which gives the wine all its strength and elegance since 100 kg of grapes yields only 15 liters of this precious nectar! A bottle for inveterate lovers of the genre, which will go down in history. Rated 97/100 by Parker.

Dal Forno is one of Italy's true living legends and has become one of the most famous estates in the Italian wine industry in just four decades. Under the impetus of Romano Dal Forno, this family-owned winery located east of Verona has distinguished itself by the quality of its wines, which are true ambassadors of Italian excellence.

It is with an undiminished and obsessive passion that Romano has succeeded, in the space of forty years, in forging an impressive success story. The very high density of the vineyard - almost 13,000 vines per hectare - and an extremely rigorous selection of the vines, favoring the most qualitative varieties such as oseleta, lead to the elaboration of three unique wines that require the full attention and care of the winemaker. 

Of course, the careful maturation and the meticulous care given to the passerillage allow Romano Dal Forno to reach the absolute peak of Amarone and Valpolicella expression.
