Dal Forno Romano Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta 2011 Valpolicella Superi Veneto 750ml/Btl 12/case

Description

Monica Larner: The 2011 Valpolicella Superiore Monte Lodoletta is a
darkly concentrated but carefully balanced expression that only the
most expert vintner can pull off with success. Consider that the
dry extract is a massive 48 grams per liter. In fact, there is some
minor precipitation of color matter even at this relatively young
age. This wine was aged in new oak for two years (instead of the
standard three years) with four years bottle (instead of three).
That extra year in glass served to help the wine integrate and to
reduce micro-oxygenation. The bouquet is bright and fragrant with
floral notes of rose and violet that are rare to find in
Valpolicella. There are faint tertiary notes as well that add to
the complexity. You will find cured leather and savory spice. The
finish offers enough acidity to refresh the palate, following that
considerable density and thickness.
