It reflects the estate’s role in the generation of producers that helped bring the area international recognition, following pioneers such as Giuseppe Quintarelli.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeep, almost ink-dark in appearance, it opens with aromas of dried fruit, pressed blackberry and sun-dried plum. The palate is full-bodied and exceptionally rich, with a pronounced sweet-fruited character, notes of jammy fruit and raisin, and reported residual sugar of around 10 g\/L.\n\nThis vintage can take time to open up, but a well-stored bottle may now show greater generosity and complexity. Its concentration and structure give it the potential to evolve over a long period in the cellar; decanting can help reveal its aromas when young or still reticent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe estate cultivated around 25 hectares in 2006. The growing season was difficult, with hail and above-average rainfall through much of the year. Detailed information about the vineyard sites, harvest methods and vinification for this bottling is not available in the supplied notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at around 16–18°C. Its generous, dried-fruit character suits braised or roasted beef, game, and aged hard cheeses; it can also be enjoyed slowly on its own after a meal. Decant for one to two hours, particularly if the bottle initially seems closed, and taste as it opens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDal Forno was among the influential Valpolicella producers whose work helped establish the region’s modern reputation, alongside the earlier example of Quintarelli. By 2006, a new generation of winemakers was building on that legacy and earning attention for the quality of its wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dal Forno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55187186975057,"sku":"PS-16099179954556","price":343.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/dal-forno-amarone-2006-0.png?v=1791231857","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/dal-forno-amarone-2006","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
