This was not an easy vintage in Valpolicella compared to other parts of Italy that enjoyed a classic growing season. Instead, this Northern corner of Italy suffered from heavy rains and some hail damage. Overall yields were lower as a result. But the wine sings in terms of its brightness and aromatic intensity today. The expressive bouquet covers all the bases from black fruit to spice to drying mineral or flint. All of these elements conspire to bring robust flavors together with smooth and seamless transitions.

Firm and dense, but with an overall sense of finesse to the marriage of structure and flavor. Drink now through 2025.

The wine aged in barriques and has a compact, ruby color. The aroma is dominated by dark fruit, pulpy cherry and other red fruits, spice, pepper, cacao and smoky sensations. The mouthfeel is dry and elegant, fine and juicy, with thick and velvety tannins ahead of a long finish full of spice and hay sensations.\" (3\/2016)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Logan, Romano Dal Forno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47763079364832,"sku":"130359","price":166.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/romano-dal-forno-amarone-della-valpolicella-vigneti-del-monte-lodoletta_1.jpg?v=1758142051","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/romano-dal-forno-valpolicella-superiore-monte-lodoletta-2010-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
