Interesting facts
Dal Forno is called the "king of Amarone" and the Italian wine "monster". His 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," — Robert Parker. Connoisseurs believe that anyone who has once rewarded themselves with a bottle of Amarone della Valpolicella from Dal Forno has become its hostage 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 9000 bottles per year. At its peak maturity, the 2009 vintage will be in the period from 2018 to at least 2036.
About the Manufacturer
The story of the legend of Italian winemaking — Romano Dal Forno began in 1983 when his wine first hit the market. It took the winemaker another 7 years to decide on a complete overhaul of production, and in 1990 he did so, investing nearly 1.5 billion lira into the project. Dal Forno's wines are a fine example of how, using modern enology methods, one can remain true to the winemaking traditions of the past. For Romano Dal Forno, there are no small details in wine production. Each 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.
