The Valpolicella Superiore DOC "Monte Lodoletta" from Dal Forno Romano is one of the most famous, concentrated and prestigious red wines in Italy. Created by Romano Dal Forno in the Val d'Illasi, this wine completely redefines the category of Valpolicella Superiore, as it is produced with the same care and rigor as those used for the Amarone of the house.
After the selection of the best clusters, the harvested grapes are placed in plastic trays and left to rest for 45 days in large open-air areas. The pressing begins on average in the first days of November, after a further manual sorting of each cluster in order to eliminate all the grains that have rotted during the drying phase. Fermentation in steel tanks at controlled temperature, equipped with a sophisticated computerized system that allows automatic maceration for a period of 15 days, including a final maceration of 2 days.
