Romano Dal Forno
is Veneto's 'Grape King' and also one of the kings
of Amarone, Italy's great 'Monster' wine. This bold
statement ignites the debate: Dal Forno or Quintarelli,
who makes the better wine? Both produce world-class
cellar wines, and at this level it’s a taster’s
preference: do you like Dal Forno’s modern,
hedonistic expression of the ancient grapes or the
austere, rustic style of sire Guiseppe Quintarelli?
The one sure thing is that these two are in a superior
class all to themselves. Both produce “revelation”
wines – the kind that will change how you look
beneath the colors in a glass.
The great richness
of Dal Forno's wines is derived from the extremely
low yields of this artisan's 12.5-hectare estate outside
the Classico zone. His dense, creamy Valpolicella
is among the best of the Veneto, and his 'Nettare'
is part of the comeback of garganega, the grape behind
Soave that we find here formally dressed as a white
passito dessert wine. In fact, all of his are "experience"
wines, transporting you to a new level of wine appreciation.
