Romano dal Forno 2003 Valpolicella Superiore Vigneto Monte Lodoletta DOCG

Romano Dal Forno is an iconic producer from the Valpolicella area, based in the Val d’Illasi near Verona, who has achieved cult status in Italian winemaking within just a few decades. Although younger than many historic estates, Dal Forno is renowned for his meticulous attention to detail in both vineyard and cellar, extremely low yields, and a winemaking approach focused on concentration, structure, and longevity.

The estate’s philosophy is built on rigorous grape selection and techniques inspired by Amarone production, including a light drying of the grapes even for Valpolicella Superiore. This results in wines of remarkable depth, aromatic intensity, and aging potential.

The Valpolicella Superiore Vigneto Monte Lodoletta is produced from Corvina, Rondinella, Croatina, and Oseleta grown in one of the estate’s finest vineyards. Despite its “Superiore” designation, this wine follows the same strict quality standards as Dal Forno’s most prestigious cuvées.

The 2003 vintage is noted for its power, complexity, and structure, offering layered aromas of ripe dark fruit, spices, and balsamic notes, supported by a rich, enveloping palate. A wine of great intensity and balance, capable of evolving beautifully over time.

This bottle represents a rare and highly sought-after expression of Valpolicella, showcasing the unmistakable style and philosophy of Romano Dal Forno.
