  5. 2009 Dal Forno Romano, Amarone della Valpolicella, Monte Lodoletta
Amarone is a style of wine produced by drying the grapes prior to fermentation, creating wines with higher potential alcohol, more body, and possibly a touch of sweetness. Dal Forno Romano is one of the touchstone producers of the style based in the Veneto region of Italy, where they’ve been making wine for almost 40 years. The grapes for Dal Forno’s Amarone are dried for at least six months, concentrating the sugars and flavors and creating lots of interest and complexity.

The 2009 Dal Forno Romano Vigneto Monte Lodoletta is considered to be one of the most classic and high-quality examples of Amarone style. Notes of blackberry, dried cherry, cedar, and anise abound, and the luscious viscosity is countered by surprisingly fresh acidity. Robert Parker scored the wine 99 points, writing, “I found this monumental wine to be irresistible when I first tasted it...This is one of the most complete and comprehensive vintages produced at Dal Forno.”

The Final Sip:  If you’re exploring Amarone for the first time, start with Dal Forno Romano – but beware, all other examples may disappoint after setting the bar so high.
