The Valpolicella Superiore "Monte Lodoletta" by Romano Dal Forno is one of the best labels of this famous hilly area, which extends north-west of the city of Verona.

Romano dal Forno is a true legend of Valpolicella and has created wines so extraordinary that he has entered the Olympus of producers, praised by critics from all over the world. Trying one of his wines is an unforgettable experience. The Valpolicella Classico Superiore di Dal Forno is a masterpiece of elegance, harmony and power. Simply perfect.

The "Monte Lodoletta" wine is a Valpolicella Superiore made by one of the most famous and highly rated producers in the area. The Dal Forno winery can count on the experience of four generations of winemakers and today manages a splendid estate of about 25 hectares in the hilly area of Illasi. The mild and breezy climate, also due to the proximity of Lake Garda, and the predominantly calcareous soils, have been the perfect habitat for the red berry varieties native to the area for thousands of years: Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The real turning point of the winery dates back to the meeting with Giuseppe Quintarelli, another historical name for Valpolicella wine. From that moment on, Romano Dal Forno decided to follow the path of absolute quality, convinced that such a suitable territory should be best enhanced by excellent viticulture.

The "Monte Lodoletta" Valpolicella di Romano Dal Forno is one of those labels that have the merit of being able to tell the history and traditions of a territory in a glass. It is a genuine wine of extraordinary typicality, elegance and pleasantness. At the end of the harvest, the grapes are vinified in red with maceration on the skins. Before bottling, the wine matures for 36 months in new barriques. The glass has an intense ruby red colour. The olfactory profile opens on aromas of cherry and ripe red fruit, notes of dried fruit, memories of noble woods and spices. On the palate it has a good structure, with a harmonious sip, a fine tannic texture and a balanced finish, with a long, fruity finish. A true legend in red, to savour the true soul of Valpolicella!
