Situated in Val D`Illasi within the Valpolicella region, this boutique winery was founded by Romano Dal Forno in 1983. After four decades, the family legacy continues, now led by his son Marco with Romano ever-present at his side. The 2017 Valpolicella Superiore presents concentrated aromas of spiced black plum, violets, fig, and espresso that waft from the glass. Exhibiting a polished and taut character, the wine features fine tannins and a well-structured profile. Oak notes are discernible, transitioning into flavours of macerated black cherries, star anise, tobacco leaf, and tilled earth.
