Tasting Notes

Intense impenetrable ruby red colour. The bouquet is seductive, opening with hints of overripe black fruit enhanced with complex reminiscences of mocha, dark chocolate, pepper and oak. On the palate it is full-bodied with a smooth blend of tannins and a superb captivating finish.

Pairings

It is not a wine for drinking with a simple Sunday lunch but should be kept for special occasions. Excellent with roast quail on toast.

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG "Monte Lodoletta" 2017 - Dal Forno Romano: Why we like it

After harvesting, the bunches of grapes of all four varieties are left to dry and only in mid December are they pressed. After fermentation the wine is aged for 36 months in barrels.

Sensual and mellow to both the nose and the palate, it needs no great introductions especially considering the calibre of the winery that produces it. It is a great wine.
