Description

Valpolicella Superiore "Monte Lodoletta" 1996 Dal Forno

Valpolicella Superiore "Monte Lodoletta" 1996 represents the pinnacle of Romano Dal Forno's winemaking artistry, a legendary producer from Valpolicella renowned worldwide for his dedication to quality and winemaking tradition. This wine is the result of meticulous grape selection from a particularly esteemed vineyard located in the northwest hills of Verona. The calcareous, well-drained soil, coupled with the favorable climate influenced by proximity to Lake Garda, creates ideal conditions for the native Valpolicella varieties: Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara.

The vinification of "Monte Lodoletta" is characterized by traditional methods and the use of modern technologies to ensure the maximum expression of terroir. After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently destemmed and crushed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures to preserve fruit freshness and integrity. Subsequently, the wine is transferred to new oak barriques where it matures for 36 months. This extended aging imparts complex structure and distinctive character to the wine.

Upon tasting, "Monte Lodoletta" presents itself with a very intense ruby red color that reveals its concentration and depth. On the nose, intense aromas of ripe cherry, mixed red fruit, and subtle hints of dried fruit emerge, complemented by elegant notes of noble woods and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine delivers a powerful and enveloping attack, with finely integrated tannic texture that provides structure and robustness to the sip. Freshness and balance are evident, supported by a long fruity persistence that leaves a lasting impression.

The 1996 "Monte Lodoletta" is a winemaking masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of Valpolicella in every sip. It reflects Romano Dal Forno's passion and commitment to producing world-class wines, celebrated for their complexity, elegance, and depth. It offers an unforgettable tasting experience that delights the senses and celebrates the rich history and tradition of this renowned Italian wine region.
