Interesting facts
Dal Forno is known as the "king of Amarone" and an Italian wine "monster". Its wines are valued worldwide for their concentration and complexity; they are bold, with a strong expression of personality. "These are wines that take you to a new level of wine perception," says Robert Parker. Connoisseurs believe that once someone has treated themselves to a bottle of Amarone della Valpolicella from Dal Forno, they become its captive for life. This stunning wine from the legendary producer is made from grapes from vines over 10 years old, which have an extremely low yield. This factor is very significant for creating a concentrated, deep wine. Another important factor is the aging period of the wine before it goes on sale. The unique Amarone from Dal Forno "comes to light" after 10 years! Romano Dal Forno proudly states that his wine is proof that Amarone from the small area of Valpolicella can compete with the best red wines from Montalcino and Barolo. The production volume of Amarone from Dal Forno is only 9,000 bottles per year. At its peak maturity, the 2008 vintage will be at its best from 2017 to at least 2035.
About the Manufacturer
The story of the legend of Italian winemaking — Romano Dal Forno began in 1983 when his wine first hit the market. The winemaker needed another 7 years to decide on a complete overhaul of production, and in 1990 he did so, investing nearly 1.5 billion lira in the project. Dal Forno wines are a perfect example of how, by using modern oenology methods, one can remain true to the winemaking traditions of the past. For Romano Dal Forno, there are no small details in wine production. Every stage is carefully calibrated and controlled by him personally. "Romano Dal Forno is a local legend. Many of us take breaks, play golf at noon, but not Dal Forno. He works every day. He not only knows every vine in his vineyard — he knows every bunch! A true genius!" say his colleagues in the industry.
