November 11, 2023 - Dal Forno Romano Tasting (Hedonism London): So light on the nose – it’s almost Pinot-esque (though certainly not once you taste it). Red cherry, wild strawberries, cracked black pepper. More subtle oak than the 2015. Noticeable tannins – quite grippy. Lacking a bit in texture and concentration. It’s odd to describe a Dal Forno wine – or any appassimento wine, really – as rustic but it sort of is. Needs food.

November 3, 2023 - Very ripe black fruit, toasted character, and some vanilla, chocolate. Very well made Valpolicella. The wine was explosive from the get go. Very dense palate with present tannins. This wine needs food. Paired it with a good steak. Super combination.
This wine was obvsiouly too young and will probably enter its peak drinking window in 10 years time but I would say it is super delicious already now. I would decant 2-3 hours before.
