Dal Forno Romano Valpolicella Superiore
| Vintage: | 2017 |

| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\n\r\nPungent 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. Very young and driven at the moment. Lacks the depth and complexity of more fortunate vintages, but still shows exceptional quality. Try from 2024.\r\nJames Suckling 95 Points \r\nWine Spectator 93 Points \r\nWine Enthusiast 92 Points\r\nBlend: \u00a070% Corvina and Corvina grossa, 20% Rondinella, 5% Croatina, 5% Oseleta\r\nAbout Dal Forno Romano\r\nThis family winery is located in Val d\u2019Illasi where the Dal Forno have owned prime vineyards for fourth generation. Luigi DalForno was well known for the quality of his wines and his grandson Romano has carried on the traditions since 1983, when he took over the running of the Estate. In 1990 a new winery was built, it uses modern technologies while maintaining the traditions of these famous wines.\r\nThe great richness of Dal Forno's wines is derived from the extremely low yields of this artisan\u2019s 12.5-hectare estate outside the Classico zone. His dense, creamy Valpolicella is among the best of the Veneto, and his 'Nettare' is part of the comeback of garganega, the grape behind Soave that we find here formally dressed as a white passito dessert wine. |
