Despite the warm vintage and naturally opulent style, Dal Forno's relentless attention to detail preserved freshness and structure, resulting in a wine that is both powerful and impeccably balanced. A devastating hailstorm just days before harvest reduced production significantly, making the vintage especially scarce. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"507\" data-end=\"954\"\u003eIn the glass, it pours an opaque garnet-black with a nearly impenetrable core. The bouquet unfolds in layers of black cherry compote, Amarena cherry, blackberry preserves, dried plum, espresso bean, bittersweet cocoa, licorice, balsamic herbs, cedar, leather, and crushed violets, accented by hints of iron, smoke, and eucalyptus. As the wine evolves, its aromatic complexity becomes increasingly captivating. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"1455\"\u003eThe palate is lavish yet remarkably controlled. Dense flavors of kirsch, black plum, dark chocolate, mocha, sweet baking spices, and black fig glide across a rich, glycerol-textured mouthfeel, while vibrant acidity and finely sculpted tannins provide lift and definition. The 16% alcohol is seamlessly integrated, lending warmth without heaviness. The finish is extraordinarily long, echoing with mineral notes, balsamic spice, coffee, and lingering dark fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YOUNGS MARKET COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50990261469490,"sku":"50000000008270","price":450.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0044\/7165\/2425\/files\/DF_NV_Amarone_BTL.png?v=1773864892","url":"https:\/\/www.vintagewinemerchants.com\/products\/2017-dal-forno-amarone-della-valpolicella-docg","provider":"Vintage Wine Merchants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
