Dal Forno Romano Valpolicella Superiore 2012 750ml

Winemaker's note:
2012 was quite a good vintage. Excellent weather conditions persisted throughout the summertime, with high peaks of temperature but good rainfalls, allowing a consistent maturation of grapes. Unfortunately, the vineyards were hit twice by hail, resulting in less production and a need for more careful selection during the harvest time. Except for this flaw, which the winery is more or less used to dealing with every year, the trend of the vintage was even and consistent. The result is a wine with a full body and a perfect balance.

Founded in 1983, Dal Forno is located in the Valley of Illasi, east of Verona, in the region of Valpolicella. Born next to his family’s vineyards, Romano Dal Forno grew up with a love for the countryside and an undying passion for his work, dedicating his life to continual improvement of his family’s vineyards and his own winemaking techniques.
Evident in all viticultural and winemaking processes is a deep respect for traditional techniques, coupled with the most precise and technologically advanced practices. This balance between tradition and technology in the winery results in wines that are extremely concentrated and bursting with aromas and flavors, while still maintaining an exceptionally precise and flawless profile. It is these exacting standards that have elevated Dal Forno as one of the most prestigious and esteemed Valpolicella wine producers.
