Dal Forno Romano Veneto Passito Vigna Sere 2003
Varietal: Corvina Blend
Region: Veneto
Rich, dense, opulent, and glorious: this dessert red from Amarone genius Dal Forno reads like a baby port with a firm tannic structure. Plums, tar, chocolate and coffee hold hands and dance in this wine that demands rich cheeses or chocolate desserts as its just desert. Drinking now through the end of this decade.
About the Producer
Romano Dal Forno is Veneto's 'Grape King' and also one of the kings of
Amarone, Italy's great 'Monster' wine. This bold statement ignites the
debate: Dal Forno or Quintarelli, who makes the better wine? Both
produce world-class cellar wines, and at this level it’s a taster’s
preference: do you like Dal Forno’s modern, hedonistic expression of
the ancient grapes or the austere, rustic style of sire Guiseppe
Quintarelli? The one sure thing is that these two are in a superior
class all to themselves. Both produce “revelation” wines--the kind
that will change how you look beneath the colors in a glass.
The
great richness of Dal Forno's wines is derived from the extremely low
yields of this artisan's 12.5-hectare estate outside the Classico zone.
His dense, creamy Valpolicella is among the best of the Veneto, and his
'Nettare' is part of the comeback of garganega, the grape behind Soave
that we find here formally dressed as a white passito dessert wine. In
fact, all of his are "experience" wines, transporting you to a new
level of wine appreciation. |
