2017 Valpolicella Superiore

Rich black-cherry fruit aromas beautifully integrate with peppery spice from the top-quality oak. Lifted, floral scents and raisin cherry tones combine for a lovely nose. The tannins in the Valpolicella are very refined – almost silky soft but they still provide the textural depth you have come to expect from Dal Forno. The 2017 is very precise and pure-fruited, as the oak tannins nicely frame the luxurious fruit. This is an Amarone in all but name, and the quality here is nothing short of outstanding.
