The Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG produced by Dal Forno Romano is a true icon in the panorama of Italian wines, representing the pinnacle of quality and expression of the Valpolicella territory. Romano Dal Forno, recognized as a master in the production of Amarone, dedicates unparalleled care and passion in the selection of grapes and the winemaking process, resulting in a wine of extraordinary intensity, complexity and longevity.

The color is a deep garnet red, almost impenetrable, which announces the richness and density of the wine. On the nose, Dal Forno Romano's Amarone offers an incredibly rich and complex bouquet, with notes of ripe black fruit, such as blackberries and plums, enriched by hints of chocolate, coffee, vanilla and spices, thanks also to the refinement in barrique which further integrates the aromatic complexity.

In the mouth, the wine is of almost unparalleled power and concentration, with a robust yet velvety tannic structure. The balance between acidity and alcohol is masterful, supporting a range of flavors that faithfully reflect the nose, with additions of balsamic and mineral notes that lead to a very long and unforgettable finish.

This Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG is a wine that requires and deserves attention and respect; it is ideal to accompany intense and structured dishes, such as roasted red meats, game dishes and mature cheeses with character. Furthermore, it is a wine that lends itself magnificently to ageing, evolving and enriching itself with new aromatic nuances over the years.

In subsequent years the winery invested in a new cellar, and management is now also carried on by the children, with Marco Dal Forno among the leading figures in the family business.
