Dal Forno Romano, nestled in the hills of Illasi, is known for producing some of the most intense , powerful wines in Veneto. The 2012 vintage saw near-perfect weather, with warm summer days tempered by well-timed rain, allowing for steady grape maturation. Though the vineyards were struck by hail twice, leading to lower yields and a more careful harvest, the overall growing season was smooth. The result is a wine that’s full-bodied and beautifully balanced, a reflection of both the vintage’s strengths and the winery’s expertise in managing the challenges nature throws their way.
