We are beyond thrilled to partner with Wilson Daniels to present one of the most unique tastings ever offered in Colorado. This is your chance to taste and learn directly from Marco Dal Forno, second-generation steward of one of Italy’s most iconic estates.
Since 1983, the Dal Forno family has redefined what Valpolicella can be, producing wines of unmatched depth, power, and soul. From their high-altitude vineyards in the Val d’Illasi to their pioneering approach to the appassimento process, they have elevated Amarone into legend.
This evening promises to be as educational as it is unforgettable. Marco will guide us through the history, terroir, and innovations of Valpolicella while leading an unparalleled tasting of seven wines, including two vintages of Valpolicella Superiore and five vintages of Amarone della Valpolicella: 2008, 2009, 2016, 2017, and 2018. These are benchmark bottles, rarely opened together, impossible to replicate in any other setting.
Because these wines represent some of the most rare and expensive bottles in Italy, we encourage you to explore their caliber and reputation—you’ll quickly see the unique value of experiencing them together in this setting.
Expect an intimate atmosphere, deep storytelling, and a rare opportunity to connect with one of the world’s most sought-after winemaking families. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime tasting for anyone who loves great wine in a welcoming community of enthusiasts.
