The Dal Forno Romano Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta is a truly remarkable and sought-after Italian red. This Amarone is made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Croatina and Oseleta grapes that were dried for four months before pressing. The resulting wine is full-bodied, with intense aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, dried fig, coffee, and chocolate. The palate is lush and velvety, with layers of dark fruit, baking spices, and a hint of bitter almond. The finish is long and lingering, with a satisfyingly dry and tannic structure. A truly remarkable Italian Amarone that will cellar beautifully.
