TASTING NOTES

Production

Romano Dal Forno’s Amarone della Valpolicella is made from a selection of the finest bunches of grapes from vines over ten years old. It is a blend of 60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 10% Croatina and 10% Oseleta, harvested by careful manual selection from mid-September to late October, left to dry for three months and pressed in mid-December. Fermentation takes place in steel vats, and after racking, around mid-January, the wine is transferred to new barriques where it undergoes a very slow second fermentation lasting 18 months. The total time spent in barriques is 24 months, followed by a further 36 months of bottle ageing before release.

Organoleptic Characteristics

It presents an intense, impenetrable ruby red colour; on the nose, a symphony of black cherries, blueberries, mocha and chocolate stands out, alongside notes of pepper and oak. Soft, persuasive and with a long, full and memorable finish. The tannins are velvety and smooth.

Occasion and Pairing

Powerful, vigorous, complex and elegant, this Amarone is an emblematic embodiment of the winery’s philosophy, falling into the category of meditation wines.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Dal Forno Romano

Damijan Podversic, supported by his wife Elena, has managed to fulfil his childhood dream of producing great grapes varieties to create a great wine. The most important vineyards of the Damijan winery, in addition to the small parcels scattered in the Collio, are located on the wooded slopes facing south of Monte Calvario, on the outskirts of Gorizia, in an uncontaminated environment that is perfect for growing healthy and tasty grapes. Conceived from Damijan's desire to enhance the old abandoned vineyards on a terroir perfect for viticulture, the winery now has six hectares covered with vineyards, respectful of the ecosystem in which it operates. The viticulture practiced by Damijan is rigorously organic, fully attentive to the balance and health of the plants and to safeguarding the surrounding area. From the lands of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, cultivated with passion by the winemakers of the Damijan winery, varied and typical wines of the area are created, such as Ribolla Gialla, Malvasia Istriana and Friulano. Name and address of producer/distributor: Damijan - Via degli Eroi, 33, 34170 Gorizia GO. Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
