Marvellous. I bought this in Rome and hand-schlepped it back. Absolutely delicious.

Quite a vegetal nose, with a lot of green pepper and touches of mint and other herbs on the nose, and then a beautiful long, perfectly balanced velvety drink afterwards. Beautifully integrated tannins -- I was expecting it to be a bit too young but it drank very well.

Nice, when that special bottle exceeds your high expectations, really one of the nicest wines I have had for a while.

They should rename the dal Forno wines and call them "essence of Valpolicella" - amazing concentration.

It is very interesting to see a region where the two top producers have exactly opposite styles.
