Merchant's description

The 2008 Valpolicella Superiore from Dal Forno Romano is a full-bodied red wine from Veneto, primarily crafted from Corvina, Corvina Grossa and Rondinella grapes. The wine showcases a dense crimson hue, suggesting its concentrated character. Aromas of dark cherry, herbal notes and subtle hints of tobacco emerge on the nose. On the palate, it presents a structured profile with layered fruit and a notable savoury quality, framed by moderate tannins. The wine`s complexity hints at potential for further ageing. Dal Forno Romano operates a mere 12.5 hectares in the Lodoletta area, known for its low yields and high-quality production.
