Amarone Dal Forno 2016

Dal Forno Amarone 2016 is a full-bodied, appassimento-style red wine from the Amarone appellation of Veneto, northern Italy. Located in the Val D’Illasi in the Veneto, the Dal Forno family have been making wine since 1983 and their estate spans 65 acres of vines. The estate`s 2026 Amarone is a blend of 60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Croatina and 10% Oseleta, and is aged in a combination of French and American new oak for two years. "The wine feels even richer, bolder and more concentrated in this classic vintage. That general intensity is applied to the tightly wound and firm tannins as well. The alcohol reading is 16.5%. This Amarone hits the market in 2023, but you`d do well to age it for another decade at least. Black fruit, baked plum, tobacco, soy sauce, grilled herb and sweet spice are generously folded into the wine`s full-bodied texture." Monica Larner, 2023
