2017 Dal Forno Romano Amarone della Valpolicella "Monte Lodolette" 0,75lt.
The 2017 Amarone Monte Lodoletta is a masterpiece of intensity, precision, and elegance. The nose is immensely complex, offering an opulent bouquet of black cherries, dried plums, and blackberries, layered with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, licorice, and sweet tobacco. Subtle hints of dried roses, leather, and baking spices add to its aromatic depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with firm yet refined tannins and a core of luscious dark fruit that’s perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. Flavors of fig jam, blackcurrant, and molasses are complemented by touches of graphite, balsamic, and toasted oak. The finish is remarkably long and harmonious, leaving an impression of power, sophistication, and impeccable craftsmanship. While approachable now with proper decanting, this vintage has the structure to evolve beautifully for 20–30 years, revealing even greater nuance and complexity over time.
