Dal Forno are one of the most sought after producers in the Valpolicella region, having making wine under their own label in the early 1980s. This 2009 is a special library release from the estate that has been stored in their cellar for an additional 7 years. Hail storms led to yields being ridiculously tiny, but of exceptional quality thanks to a warm summer and sunny Autumn. Expect bramble fruits and black cherry notes combined with liquorice, clove and hints of smoke on the aroma profile. The palate is concentrated and dense with refreshing acidity and supple, glossy tannins.
