Dal Forno Romano

Fanciful Name: Amarone

Varietal: Blend

Vintage: 2008

Country of Origin: Italy

Retail Price: $320

Tasting Notes: Intense aromas that exude from the glass. Licorice and leather with balsamic and dried cherries are in the forefront. As you sip on this wine, the dried raspberries, rose petal, olive and mineral slate notes come forward. Clove and bitter chocolate come out on this long, long finish. The tannins are structured and need a little time in the glass to soften. A wonderful example of great quality Amarone. Enjoy with roasted or cured meats.

Wine Rating System

Our reviewers are given a topic (varietal, drinking occasion, price) six times a year and asked to select 3-5 wines that fit that criteria for review. Wine reviews include brief tasting notes, a rating and the wine’s retail price (which can vary from store to store and market to market). Unless noted otherwise, the price reflects a 750-ml. bottle. If you’re a beverage professional with a specialty in wine and you’re interested in participating in the panel, please contact managing editor Kyle Swartz at kswartz@epgmediallc.com or 203-855-8499 x2225.
