Romano Dal Forno

Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2010

Delectable Wine
9.4

The 2010 Amarone della Valpolicella is an elegant beauty, with cooling herbal tones and cloves embellishing baked cherries and hints of incense. This opens with a lovely inner sweetness, its ripe red and black fruits energized by vibrant acidity. Violet florals and suggestions of cocoa swirl throughout. The 2010 finishes long—still slightly tannic yet coming into its own, leaving a mentholated freshness and a tinge of cinnamon spice that lingers on. While this is made in the older style of Dal Forno, sporting just over six grams-per-liter of residual sugar, 17% alcohol and 100% American oak, the balance is absolutely perfect.

Bertani

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2012

Rich yet savoury, with great depth & purity. Freshness. Precision. Spicy fullness with amazing drinkability.
Pure cherry, kirsch & amaretto, some leather, a bit of undergrowth & mushroom,
Surprisingly tannic on the palate - grupy, juicy fresh. Zippy acidity, cherry freshness, savoury purity. Delicious, complex, quite profound. Amazing wine.

Recioto della Valpolicella Amarone Classico Superiore Corvina Blend 1983

Nose like a 1980’s on palate like 2000’s even after opening (kept in bottle) for a day. Once poured out the glass the wine mellow down quite quickly. Drank it at Suinsom Val Gardena — 21 days ago

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2019

Delectable Wine
9.5

The 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is youthfully understated, requiring coaxing to reveal its depths of dried black cherries, mocha and cloves, all lifted by a hint of fresh mint. This impresses with its blend of sweet spices, opulent ripe wild berry fruits and silken textures, all balanced by brisk acidity and a pleasantly bitter tinge of dark chocolate toward the close. This finishes classically dry with dramatic length and potency, leaving a coating of fine-grained tannins that saturates, promising many years of positive evolution. Allegrini knocked this one out of the park. Wow. (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2024)

Tommasi

Ripasso Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2019

Sour red and dark cherry, oak, spices. Medium bodied with medium tannins. Could use a little more integration. The acid is a bit loud on the finish. Paired well with eggplant and tomato pasta. — 3 days ago

Soave Classico Garganega 2022

Made from Garganega grapes, pale lemon yellow color with aromas of tropical fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apple, melon and lemon citrus with nutty notes and lively acidity. Smooth finish ending with fruit and mineral notes. Nice value! — a month ago

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2018

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico opens with an herbal thrust that gives way to dried violets, lavender and crushed blackberries. It is sleek and racy in feel with lifted textures and tart wild berry fruits offset by zesty acidity. It tapers off long and staining, lifted by a bump of residual acidity as notes of red plum leave a pleasantly tart sensation. I quite like the energy here and expect that the 2018 will enjoy a broad and open drinking window. (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2024)

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2018

Delectable Wine
9.3

The 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is darkly alluring, with a sweetly scented bouquet that blends medicinal cherries with sage, dried roses and baking chocolate. This is surprisingly juicy and lifted in feel, with zesty acidity motivating depths of ripe wild berry fruits as sweet spices collect toward the close. It finishes gently tannic, with a cranberry crunch that adds a lovely punctuation. (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2024)
