Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG "Monte Lodoletta" 2017 - Dal Forno Romano

An Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG from Dal Forno Romano, vintage 2017. After harvest, the grapes of all four varieties are left to dry, with pressing around mid-December. Fermentation is followed by thirty-six months in new barriques, then two years of bottle ageing. It is an intense, impenetrable ruby red, with overripe black fruit, moka, dark chocolate, pepper and oak on the nose. The palate is full and generous, with a velvety, smooth tannic texture and a superb, fascinating finish. It is reserved for important occasions and pairs well with woodcock on crostini.
