Hi Seems to me to be a normal to slightly high price for this product - exorbitant if you ask me :-) This review found at

I'd never had dal Forno before, and it is of course, a legendary wine. This often sells for a pretty penny, too. Do a quick search on Wine Searcher! I liked it a lot, but the angels did not sing, I heard no melodies in the background and I can think of other Amarones a lot cheaper that I liked as well, like Allegrini. Still, ignoring hype, this is real nice wine. There is a fleshy, velvety mouthfeel, and the ripe, soft tannins give off a tingle in the mouth rather than an astringent feel. It's plenty ripe enough, and there is finally just a touch of astringency on the finish. Good depth, flavor. No angels. 90-92 points.
