Wine from Veneto

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Lots of complexity comes through from the outset on the nose, borne out in terms of smoky black cherries, dried rose stems, asphalt, tar and licorice. Full, structured body that dives through layers of dark fruit, driven...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: Mulled cherry, spice box, dried rose and leather notes are an aromatic entry to this rich and grippy Valpolicella. It’s full-bodied, silky on the palate, with a long, saturated finish of fruit, tarry smoke and...

jamessuckling.com, 98 points: Incredible nose of wet earth, spices, dark chocolate and blueberries. Stunning. Full body, with superfine tannins and polished texture. Balance and harmony. Better in three or four years.

jamessuckling.com, 92 points: A very classic Soave with fresh-peach and candied-citrus notes. The balance between moderate acidity and creamy ripeness on the medium-to full-bodied palate is spot-on. Bright, slightly mineral finish. Screw cap.

Wine Spectator, 92 points: (92 points) Redolent of balsamic spice and herb, this full-bodied red offers dark and brambly berry and black currant fruit layered with grippy tannins. Lingering, tar-tinged finish. Drink now through 2025. 500 cases...

Decanter, 91 points: Mineral, zest and salinity lend real finesse. Persistent mousse and an attractive bitter note on the finish.

Wine Enthusiast, 92 points: You can tell a Dal Forno wine a mile away thanks to the overall intensity and concentration of his well-crafted blends. Three years of oak aging has shaped aromas of Spanish cedar, chocolate, cola, blackberry jam and...

jamessuckling.com, 94 points: Cool and herbal with great vitality and delicacy, as well as the distinctive, rich and complex texture of high-end Soave. Then comes a lime-zest freshness at the long finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
