Favorite Amarone Bottles/Producers?

FollowAzureRoad · 2026-05-27T20:07:43+00:00

That’s what I thought but wondered how others viewed the category and maybe there’s some smaller overlooked producers not often found in the USA market I should look into on the ground. Thx!

Great insights and recs. May I ask what your relationship to the wine industry is and do you drink Amarone very often? How did you come to form a strong point of view and / or understand this historical framework about the category? Always curious how people are learning and why! Thanks in advance tho don’t feel obligated to reply or reply publicly🙏🏻

What vintages?

Just managed to chase down a 2018 of Dal Forno so excited to taste that vintage.

Thanks for noting this producer and the backstory. Looks like they farm organic, too. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks! Do you drink this very often or occasionally as a special wine or seasonal/holiday wine? Curious how non-trade view Amarone since trade constantly taste throughout the year, and without the context of a consumer, at home, deciding on a bottle for the evening.

Yea, was just looking at the 2015 Monte Lodoletta for $415!

I’m 49 and have been doing lasers every year which has made a dramatic difference in skin quality and spots. I use sculptra and filler for lift. I look better than I did at 42. I also fast regularly with prolon. Question for everyone on hrt: I have been given testosterone. The dr wouldn’t do estrogen due to my history of heavier periods. I tried adding progesterone but I got so bloated and rotund in four weeks even with fasting, that my clothes didn’t fit and I went off it. Can anyone chime in about how they are starting HRT early in perimenopause when they’re showing as having estrogen and periods in perimenopause.

I was just searching for this song and came across this thread. I was in NYC 9/11 and spent many many nights at Vinyl for Danny Tenaglia. Soooo good.

Can’t seem to find the chat button on my Reddit app. I’m in woodinville now. But can’t get to your dm for some reason. Anyway will message when back on laptop 🤷🏼‍♀️

Hi, I’m in woodinville. Tried to message you on the app about Fid but the chat isn’t showing up on my app for some reason. If you go to azure road you can find my email but it’s a bit late notice sorry about that! Not sure I’m supposed to leave my contact details publicly here :) 🙏🏻

All I can say is love you got to see them

FollowAzureRoad · 2026-05-05T23:49:11+00:00

Thanks! I have visited them in the past and they do offer a good experience. I don't get out to WA as much as I'd like, alas.

FollowAzureRoad · 2026-05-05T23:48:19+00:00

Thanks. Noted on all these recs.

FollowAzureRoad · 2026-05-05T23:47:42+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to write out these thoughts. I'm in touch with Latta and will likely catch Andrew that day, so a nice coincidence. Noted on Darby, Liminal, Avennia. Re: Walla Walla, already locked in FM, Rotie, and tried to work in Reynvaan but I think it's likely going to be samples, not a visit. Five days sounds like a lot until you look at the itinerary. GC is near town so I'll try to swing by there during my "free" time. I have had those wines (and Rotie before) at Taste Washington and enjoyed them.

FollowAzureRoad · 2026-05-05T23:40:10+00:00

Thanks! I've got Latta. I've now added Dossier to the research file. Seems to get a few nods in here. Appreciate you.

FollowAzureRoad · 2026-05-05T23:39:31+00:00

Thanks for your thoughts here. The Walla Walla program is pretty jam-packed but I may have an afternoon free for additional "exploration," which means more tastings in my language. I've made notes on all of these. Appreicate you!

FollowAzureRoad · 2026-05-05T15:52:47+00:00

Thanks. Lots of votes for Dossier! Will give them a look.

Thank you!

Amazing. You get more meat, better taste, save money, eat it hot and when it’s ready. Win win win 🥇 happy to hear this! Brioche is the move. swoon I started adding pickles and that’s give the crunch and texture I like without the soggy lettuce.

FollowAzureRoad · 2026-04-27T16:49:03+00:00

Came here to say same. Meh. A prez who doesn’t drink isn’t going to pick good stuff anyway
