The Dal Forno family has been making wine since 1983 and is widely regarded as being one of the greatest estates in the Veneto. Located in Val D’Illasi, the estate consists of 65 acres of vines planted to traditional indigenous varieties. The estate vineyards and farm are located where the slopes begin to rise toward the mountains and sit 1,000 feet above sea level. The loose, alluvial soils, meticulous pruning and scrupulous winegrowing techniques ensure remarkable-quality grapes. The Dal Forno use traditional methods to grow the finest fruit, and then employ modern techniques to produce the best wines — classic in expression and modern in purity.
A remarkably concentrated red, redolent of dark-cherry ice cream, stuffed with chocolate-chip flakes that turn into meatier, earthier nuances of steak tartar and forest floor. Full-throttle and lavishly chewy, the tannins pucker all sides of the mouth with mesmerizing intensity; nevertheless they remain polished and acutely detailed, like an extravagant, wool-woven, Moroccan veil.
