About the Producer Dal Forno Romano
The Romano Dal Forno domaine in Veneto was established in 1983. It takes the least interventionist approach possible to vinifying its wines, and ages them in new barrels. The advice is therefore to taste these wines after protracted cellaring in order to allow the tannins to mellow.
