"A very rich and spicy nose of kirsch, sweet morello cherries, spice box, hazlenuts and vanilla beans with dried dark cherry cake and lots of cedar, too. Full body, sweet fruit, vibrant acidity, ripe and round tannins and a fruit-forward finish. Always excellent. Drink now."
Product Description:
"The 2012 vintage featured excellent weather conditions that persisted throughout the summertime, with high peaks
of temperature but good rainfalls, allowing a consistent maturation of grapes. The result is a wine with a full body and a perfect balance.
The Dal Forno family has been making wine since 1983.
Located in Val D’Illasi, the estate consists of 65 acres of
vines planted to traditional indigenous varieties of Corvina,
Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina. The estate
vineyards and farm are located where the slopes begin to
rise toward the mountains and sit 1,000 feet above sea level.
The loose, alluvial soils, meticulous pruning and scrupulous
viticultural techniques ensur e remarkable-quality grapes.
The Dal Fornos use traditional methods to grow the finest
fruit, and then employ modern techniques to produce the
best wines—classic in expression and modern in purity.
Dal Forno Romano is well-known for a number of superior
wines that range from the region’s famous Valpolicella and
Amarone to unique bottlings such as Vigne Seré, a passito
dessert-style wine." -Importer
