TASTING NOTES
Intense and impenetrable ruby ??color. Seductive on the nose, it opens with notes of overripe black fruit, which are embellished with complex references to mocha, dark chocolate, pepper and oak. The taste is full-bodied and generous, gives a velvety and smooth tannic texture, and has a superb and fascinating finish.
PAIRINGS
It is not a wine to drink during a simple Sunday lunch, but it is to be reserved for important occasions. Excellent with woodcock on croutons.

AMARONE DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOCG "MONTE LODOLETTA" 2010 - FROM THE ROMAN OVEN: WHY WE LIKE IT
After the harvest, the bunches of grapes of all four vine varieties are left to dry, and the pressing takes place only towards the middle of December. After fermentation, aging takes place for 36 months in new barriques. Finally, the Amarone della Valpolicella DOC, from the Dal Forno Romano winery, is completed with two years of rest in the bottle. Sensual and persuasive, both in the nose and in the mouth, it does not need other great presentations, given, among other things, the caliber of the company that produces it. It is a great wine.
