Romano Dal Forno
Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend
Valpolicella, Verona, Veneto, Italy
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.

Explosive intensity that is somehow yet elegant.

Bella...a Beautiful Amarone with rich raisiny and dark fruit flavors. Exquisite...when drinking while overlooking Rome on top of the Spanish Steps!
