Dal Forno Romano, founded in 1983 in the Val D`Illasi, has become synonymous with intensity and elegance in Valpolicella. The estate’s focus on quality begins with careful selection of fruit from their low-yielding vineyards, where vines are managed with utmost attention to detail. The 2011 Valpolicella Superiore is crafted using partially dried grapes, a process that concentrates the flavours before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Aged in oak, the wine develops a harmonious balance of rich fruit and spice, with firm tannins and well-integrated oak. Aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and hints of tobacco and cocoa lead to a long, structured finish. This wine is a true reflection of Dal Forno’s commitment to traditional methods and their pursuit of excellence.

The Godfather of Veneto

The Quintarelli estate in the northern Veronese village of Negrar dates back to 1924 and was founded by Bepe’s father, Silvio. Bepe himself took over in the 1950s, orchestrating a quality revolution through his meticulous work in the vineyard and his uncompromising practices in the cellar. The result was wines of such hedonistic deliciousness that they became some of the most sought-after in Italy; those made before Bepe’s death in 2012 especially so.

At the still family-run estate, Bepe’s legacy continues through his daughter, Fiorenza, along with her husband, Giampaolo, and their children. The core range of wines are those made in the appassimiento style (ie, with partially sun-dried grapes): the Valpolicella Superiore, Amarone, Rosso del Bepi (essentially an Amarone, but released instead of the Amarone in ‘lesser’ vintages) and Recioto. The Amarone, only released in exceptional years, is matured for fully seven years in old Slavonian oak before release. An Amarone Riserva sees 10 years.
