Description

DAL FORNOS 2011 AMARONE IS ABOUT AS DENSE AS A WINE CAN GET AND STILL BE CALLED LIQUID. ITS FLAVORS COMBINE LIKE A MEAL IN THE GLASS, REVEALING SAVORY NOTES OF ROASTED BEET, CHARRED MEAT AND HOISIN ALONG WITH ESPRESSO AND BAKED PLUM. POWERFUL TANNINS CLOSE AROUND THE FLAVORS LIKE A VISE, RELENTING AFTER A FEW HOURS IN THE GLASS AND ALLOWING TRICKLES OF ACIDITY TO INVIGORATE THE DENSE FLAVORS. BUILT FOR THE LONG HAUL, THIS NEEDS A DECADE IN THE CELLAR TO REVEAL ITS LAYERED COMPLEXITY.
