Description
Après avoir été cueillis et séchés pendant 3 mois, les raisins issus d’un assemblage dominé par le Corvina sont ensuite vinifiés jusqu’à fermentation complète. Pas de sucres résiduels donc, ni de rondeurs excessives dans ce vin, mais une grande diversité aromatique (fruits rouges et cacao, nuances truffées) sur une matière ample, puissante, juteuse et profonde.
Un grand classique de Vénétie.
Suggestion gourmande
Lièvre à la Royale.
Avis des Experts
James Suckling
"This is powerful and very rich with blueberries, flowers and hints of spices. Full body with velvety tannins and ripe fruits. Very beautiful and generous but not overdone. Superb. "
The Wine Advocate
"I'm not sure how anyone can resist a wine like the 2009 Amarone della Valpolicellla Monte Lodoletta. It would be impossible to exaggerate the enormity of this wine. Romano Dal Forno has his critics, of course: Some people find his wines exaggerated and too big to drink. They have a point, but you can not doubt the sheer quality of winemaking that goes behind this monumental wine. Dal Forno's Amarone is a message of optimism that speaks to the infinite possibilities that can be achieved with a simple fruit like the grape. The decadent and layered bouquet offers slow pulses of black fruit, tar, teriyaki, mesquite and prune. The wine wraps like a thick blanket over the palate. This beautiful bottle should be aged ten more years."
Wine Spectator
"Rich, with aromatic herb and tarry smoke notes, this silky, supple red is framed by mouthwatering acidity and dusty tannins. Shows ripe and concentrated flavors of date, sun-dried cherry, forest floor and ground spice, displaying a sense of harmony and density that suggests a long future. The finish echoes the spice and sweet fruit character. Drink now through 2029. 1,830 cases made."
International Wine Report
"The 2009 Romano Dal forno Amarone is another magical effort from this prestigious estate. Dal Forno clearly has the reputation as one of very best producers in the region and their 2009 Amarone is just another example of the high quality wine being produced. This blend of blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Oseleta and Croatina is dense and powerful with intense aromas of black cherry reduction and blackberries woven together with spices, dark chocolate, violets and sweet pipe tobacco resin, which all come together beautifully in this seductive Amarone. On the palate this possesses remarkable concentration and depth with layer upon layer of ripe fruits cascading onto the long mouth coating finish. The 2009 will demand some extended cellaring, but it is ultimately another remarkable wine to add to the long list of legendary Amarone from the Dal Forno family."
