Heiner Lobenberg om:
Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta 2008

97–98

»Man skal virkelig have smagt det for at tro på det.« Hvor ofte læser man den sætning? Trøst Dem. Man har lyst til at skrive den meget oftere, end man må. Og når man endnu en gang har brugt den, bliver man straks ramt af dårlig samvittighed. Alligevel: »Man skal virkelig have prøvet det for at tro på det.« Sjældent har denne forbudte sætning været mere sand end i forbindelse med dette produkt af italiensk storhedsvanvid. Hvordan kunne man overhovedet få den idé at tørre røde druer, så de mister 50 % af deres væske, for derefter at presse tør vin ud af dem? Man kan slet ikke forestille sig, hvor meget omhu og grundighed der ligger bag denne passion – på anden måde kan man ikke beskrive Romano Dal Fornos arbejde. Romano Dal Forno er den mest pedantiske nulevende vinproducent. Hans kælder holdes nærmest manisk ren. Produktet, her Amarone, er ikke af denne verden. Denne vin befinder sig på et helt andet niveau end det, man normalt forstår ved rødvin eller endda Amarone. Præcisionen er som taget ud af en blåkopi. Med hver slurk afslører vinen sig på ny. Alt er konstant i bevægelse, alt forandrer sig. Men vinen forbliver altid sig selv. Fyldt med uhæmmet frugt og kraft, vanvittigt frisk i sin fantastiske syre, racet frugt, men alt sammen indhyllet i disse utroligt bløde og fyldige tanniner. Pas på! Der følger også masser af gåsehud og tårevædede øjne med! 97-98/100

Galloni om: Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta

The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella is compelling. With a little air, the tannins begin to soften, releasing a myriad of intense dark aromas and flavors. Bittersweet chocolate, cloves, violets, plums and blackberry jam cover every inch of the palate in a stunning, headspinning Amarone that captures all of the best qualities of the year. When Romano Dal Forno's wines are on, there is nothing quite like them, and that is certainly the case here. If opened young, the 2008 needs a little air. Actually, a lot of air. 98/100

Suckling om: Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta

Wonderful aromas of rose petal, blackberry, sugared walnut and hints of sea salt. Full body, ultra-fine tannins and a warm, enticing palate with dried fruits, blackberry, black olive and freshly cracked slate. Fabulous Amarone. 97/100

Parker om: Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta

Production was skipped over in 2007 due to extreme hail damage. The fruit that would normally be destined to Amarone went to the lower tier Valpolicella Superiore instead. The 2008 Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta marks a return to a slightly cooler vintage with a longer growing season slowed down during the summer's moderate temperatures. Indeed, harvest was wrapped up during the first days of November. The blend is mostly Corvina, at about 60%, with smaller parts Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina and Oseleta. The new Dal Forno winery was finished in 2008, complete with the unique vacuum-sealed fermentation tasks that help to avoid any intrusive oxygen during winemaking. Indeed, this wine is balanced and elegant with fruit that is still crunchy and very much alive. The tannins are firm and nicely integrated into the wine's thick, fleshy consistency. This vintage is characterized by a very elegant and graceful approach, which must be taken into context given the enormity of a wine of this caliber. Happily, there is no doubt that this vintage should still evolve steadily over time. 96/100

Jane Anson om: Amarone della Valpolicella Monte Lodoletta

Unusual to see a library release of a 15 year old Amarone, and it's great to see the extra decade smoothing out the bittersweet angles of this wine style, softening them into curves. Expect an inky colour, plenty of smoke, tar, grilled toast, liqourice, Christmas pudding, bitter chocolate, blackcurrant and cloves. This remains tight and powerful but there is an underlying caress to the structure that makes for a pretty electrifying combination. 34ha etate; owned by Romano dal Forno, winemaker Romano and Marco Dal Forno. Make sure you give this some time in a carafe. 96/100
