Amarone Della Valpolicella Romano Dal Forno 2013
Romano Dal Forno is considered by all insiders as the "King of Amarone". The grapes are found on a ground composed mostly of gravel. The pressing usually begins in mid-December, after having carried out a further manual sorting on each bunch, in order to remove all the grains that have been damaged during the drying period.
Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature (about 28 degrees), equipped with a sophisticated computerized system that allows to perform automatic punching for a period of about fifteen days, including the final two-day maceration.
After decanting in January Amarone which has a residual sugar, is put in new barrique, where it takes a slow fermentative activity that lasts for another 18 months. The stop in barrique lasts 24 months in total.
The final product is a true masterpiece of elegance. From ruby color tending to purple, dense and impenetrable. The nose shows intense fruity aromas, with notes of coffee and tobacco. Taste with extraordinary power. It offers a final of immeasurable and interminable length.
To be combined with smoked meats and seasoned hard cheeses.
