The historic Dal Forno Romano winery is one of the Italian wineries known for producing excellent red wines in the Veneto region. From the very beginning, the philosophy of the winery's founder has been based on producing fine, quality wines and making the most of the characteristics of the terroir. The land's exposure to sun and wind make it ideal for the production of Amarone and Valpolicella. Innovation and attention to detail make this company one of the best in its field, thanks to the intense work of its founder Romano Dal Forno and his family.
