Comaroto
Amarone & Valpolicella Wines by Comaroto
Comaroto is a young winery with deep family roots in the Val d’Illasi, one of the most important areas for Amarone production in the eastern side of Valpolicella.
The project belongs to the Dal Forno family and was born from a desire to create wines that respect local tradition while speaking with a clean, precise and modern style.
The name “Comaroto” comes from a family nickname linked to the figure of the comare, the midwife, a role held by Ernesto Dal Forno’s mother in the early 1900s. Over time, this name became part of the family identity and today represents a new chapter in their wine story.
In the vineyard, the focus is on careful manual work, strict grape selection and respect for the natural rhythm of the land. In the cellar, Comaroto follows the traditional methods of Valpolicella, including appassimento for Amarone, while keeping the wines precise, balanced and expressive.
Production is limited and quality driven, with particular attention to Amarone della Valpolicella and Valpolicella Superiore. The result is a range of wines that combine depth, structure and freshness, with a clear connection to the hills of Val d’Illasi.
