TASTING NOTES: This wine has taken a beautiful turn, but sadly only 17 bottles still exist back at the winery. The 1996 Amarone della Valpolicella Vigneto di Monte Lodoletta exhibits beautiful linearity and freshness that is almost unreal to behold considering the massive texture and weight of the fruit flavors on hand. The fruit is still plump and vibrant, and the 17.5% alcoholic content is magically downplayed. To be honest, in a blind tasting I might guess this wine is five to ten years younger than it really is. That freshness, both in terms of fruit and mouthfeel, is really quite extraordinary. This wine is going nowhere fast, but in a good way, because it is pretty much ageless. Delicate notes of exotic spice and fine licorice appear as pretty accents on the close. There is no doubt: This is one of the greatest Amarone wines ever made, and it is still holding strong.

Unlike many traditionalists, Dal Forno embraced modern winemaking practices, utilizing state-of-the-art technology and equipment to push the boundaries of quality and craftsmanship.

His Amarone della Valpolicella wines quickly gained international acclaim for their opulence, intensity, and remarkable aging potential. Dal Forno pioneered new methods in grape drying and fermentation, resulting in wines of unparalleled depth, concentration, and complexity.

In addition to Amarone, Dal Forno also produced other exceptional wines, including Valpolicella Superiore, Recioto della Valpolicella, and a few limited-production cuvées. Each bottle from his cellar exemplified his relentless pursuit of perfection and his unwavering dedication to producing wines of the highest caliber.

While Romano Dal Forno is still active in the wine world, his legacy as a visionary winemaker has already left an indelible mark on the industry. His wines continue to be highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, cherished for their exceptional quality, distinctiveness, and the innovative spirit that Dal Forno embodies.
