Romano Dal Forno Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta 2019

Romano Dal Forno’s Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is a striking expression of one of Veneto’s most admired modern producers. Combining concentration, elegance, and unmistakable intensity, it reflects the meticulous approach that helped redefine what Valpolicella can be.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a very intense ruby-red colour, signalling depth and vitality. The nose opens with ripe red fruit, layered with dried fruit notes and a distinctive savoury nuance of walnuts and almonds. The palate is harmonious and velvety, yet firmly structured by powerful tannins and supported by a long, persistent finish. The fruit remains vivid throughout, lifted by the wine’s natural richness and alcohol, giving it excellent ageing potential and the capacity to evolve beautifully over time.

Production
Sourced from Monte Lodoletta in Veneto, this Valpolicella Superiore is built on a classic blend of 60% Corvina, 35% Rondinella, and 5% Molinara. Fermentation is carried out naturally in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks at around 28°C for 6–8 days, followed by a short settling period in tank before 30 months of ageing in barriques. Before bottling, the different barriques are blended, 10.5% Amarone from the same vintage is added, and the wine is filtered and bottled.

Food & Serving
This is a serious, full-flavoured red that pairs beautifully with rich dishes such as braised beef, roasted lamb, game, mushroom risotto, and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and decant for around an hour if you want to fully open up the aromas and soften the structure.
