Review:

The Dal Forno family considered the idea of releasing their Amarone ten years after the harvest. If that plan had been implemented, this would be the vintage on the market now. The 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is a full and generous expression that delivers thick lines and robust flavors of dried blackberry, camphor ash, exotic cedar wood, licorice and tarry road pavement. This vintage saw average temperatures throughout the growing season with a few hailstorms along the way. Very dry weather led to some mild drought in July and August, with ensuing ripening and concentration of the clusters. I found this monumental wine to be irresistible when I first tasted it five years ago, and I consider it to have improved since then. This is one of the most complete and comprehensive vintages produced at Dal Forno, and it gives us an ample 360-degree view onto the might, brawn and potential of this icon wine from the Veneto. Its evolutionary track shows no sign of slowing down.

Emerging as one of the standout wineries not only in Veneto, but throughout Italy as a whole, Dal Forno unquestionably exemplifies the viticultural excellence of Valpolicella. This winery’s prestigious and elegant interpretations have significantly elevated the global stature of Amarone, making it a pivotal reference point for the region.

In the early 1980s, after having worked for the renowned Giuseppe Quintarelli, Romano Dal Forno took the helm of the family estate in Cellore d’Illasi, aiming for the highest quality through a meticulous and perfectionist approach. It is through this unwavering attention to detail that he has crafted superior wines, harmoniously blending cutting-edge technology with the traditional wine-making principles of the area. Today, Romano is assisted by his sons Marco, Luca, and Michele, who support him in both the agronomic, enological, and commercial aspects.
