Dal Forno Romano Amarone della Valpolicella 2009

The 2009 Amarone 'Monte Lodoletta' boasts an aromatic intensity that few wines in the world can match. Aged for at least seven years before release to allow its hedonistic nature to fully develop, this is now in its prime and perfectly suited for your drinking pleasure.

Rich aromas of mocha, prunes, figs, cooked cherries, dried blackberry, liquorice and leather rise from the glass, embodying the essence of this Italian icon. What truly stands out, however, is the exceptional acidity, which beautifully balances the wine’s powerful and opulent palate, preventing it from feeling overly heavy. The finish is extraordinarily long and perfectly harmonious. For those who appreciate bold, indulgent red wines, this Amarone is an absolute must-try—a true masterpiece.

Dal Forno Winery, with its four generations of viticultural expertise, manages an exceptional estate of approximately 25 hectares in the scenic Illasi hills. The mild, breezy climate, influenced by the proximity to Lake Garda, and the predominantly calcareous soils create an ideal environment for the indigenous red grape varieties—Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. They are fully committed to achieving the highest standards of quality, firmly believing that this gifted terroir deserves to be expressed through exceptional viticulture.
