HED97936 150cl 16.5%
Dal Forno Amarone 2008 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. Available here in magnum format, the 2008 vintage of the estate Amarone is a blend of 60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Croatina and 10% Oseleta. The Wine Spectator describes the wine as follows. "Game and ashy smoke details lead the way in this ripe red, followed by juicy plumped cherry, date, dark chocolate and woodsy spice notes on the plush-textured palate. Velvety tannins give this some brawn, but this is beautifully knit and balanced, showing an overall sense of finesse. Delivers a lasting finish of fruit and spice."

Dal Forno Romano

Dal Forno Romano

A living legend of Verona winemaking, Romano Dal Forno has been producing showstopping Amarones and Valpolicellas since the early 1980s. A protégé of the great Giuseppe Quintarelli, Romano is renowned for his scrupulously hardworking commitment to his craft, both in the vineyard and the cellar.

The estate of Dal Forno Romano comprises 8ha of vineyards in the Val D’Illasi. The area’s loose, alluvial soils, combined with Dal Forno’s strict pruning regime, produce remarkably low grape yields. Rigorous selection during harvest then gives the raw materials for some of the most expressive Valpolicella Superiore, Amarone and passito wines in the region. Four decades on from the founding of the estate, Dal Forno Romano is still run by the family, with Romano’s son Marco in charge in the cellar and Romano himself always on hand.
