Interesting facts
For many years, Valpolicella was considered an ordinary wine for pizza. Romano Dal Forno managed to change this belief. His Valpolicella has acquired such complexity, structure, and concentration that it can be compared to the best examples of Brunello. The red dry wine Valpolicella Superiore is made from grapes of the varieties Corvina, Rondinella, Croatina, and Oseleta. The grapes are harvested by hand. Before early November, the bunches are partially dried, then some of them are selected for making Valpolicella. After fermentation and maceration, the wine is transferred to French barriques, where it is aged for 36 months. The final blend is then created. The wine is bottled and aged for an additional 12 months.
About the Manufacturer

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.
