Romano Dal Forno Amarone 1996 is a full-bodied appassimento red wine from the Amarone della Valpolicella appellation of Veneto, northern Italy. Romano Dal Forno undoubtedly ranks amongst the very finest winemakers in the Valpolicella region. The 1996 is one of the finest Amarone wines ever produced and is now particularly scarce. "Dal Forno`s virtually perfect 1996 is undoubtedly the finest Amarone I have ever tasted. Its inky black/purple colour is accompanied by extraordinarily pure, graphite-infused, blackberry, plum, mineral, licoricey, and espresso flavours. Despite its monumental intensity and richness, this wine is not heavy, somehow managing to conceal its 17.5% alcohol! As compelling an Italian wine as I have ever tasted, it should prove to be unbelievably long-lived." Robert Parker, 2001
