The shy nose eventually reveals suggestions of steeped prune, toasted nut and underbrush. Brawny and one-dimensional, the densely concentrated palate is dominated by French oak, exhibiting coconut, raw coffee bean and vanilla alongside prune marinated in spirits and bitter notes recalling powdered sage. It's lean in terms of fruit richness while astringent tannins clench the assertive finish.

Romano Dal Forno has been making wine since 1983 in Val D’Illasi. He is a local legend. Meticulosity involved in every aspect of his winery from the rigorous grape selection to the strict racking and resting times. His sons Luca, Michele and Marco now carry on the work of their father but with the freedom to pursue each and every idea like introducing modern techniques to produce the best wines. Together, their combination of bold and distinct personalities, traditional and contemporary views, results in a balanced team making wines classic in expression and modern in purity. The estate consists of 65 acres of vines planted to traditional indigenous varieties of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina.

“We don’t have to invent anything. Nature provides us with all the tips we need. All we have to do is learn to listen to and respect it.” Marco Dal Forno
