Romano Dal Forno was born in 1957 in the village of Capovilla, which is situated a few kilometres from Illasi, it is in this environment, where wine is not just a product but more a philosophy of life, that the Dal Forno family have nurtured their vineyards for almost four générations.
At 22 years of age, together with his new wife Loretta, Romano met Giuseppe Quintarelli who was to prove to be his guiding light: Giuseppe opened Romano’s eyes to a new way of producing wine and of planting vines, which made him concentrate on the importance of quality over quantity.
In the beginning he experienced many difficulties but, thanks to the precious contributions of his sons Marco, Luca and Michele, Romano Dal Forno, in a relatively short space of time, was able to see his company rise to a high level within the world of wine.

Tasting Note | The 1998 Amarone della Valpolicella Vigneto di Monte Lodoletta is a supreme example of this wine, almost overwhelming in its aromatic impact, luxuriously sweet, ripe, jammy, and chocolatey, mouthfilling and powerful in flavor, broad and caressing, solid and sustained from the attack to the lengthy, lingering finish, superbly shaped and balanced, pedal to the floor power and shapely elegance all in one package. The score is probably too conservative, but it can easily be checked over the next 25 years. |
