Although they have been growing grapes here for several centuries, Giovanni Allegrini was the first to start bottling wines from the family's vineyards. When he died in 1983, he passed a passion for and a commitment to quality wine onto his three children - Walter, Marilisa and Franco. They worked together to build on Giovanni's quality ethos until Walter's death in 2003. Franco now looks after the vineyards and the winemaking, while Marilisa takes charge of sales and marketing. From the 2007 vintage, Franco sacrificed the Classico status of the Valpolicella and bottled the wine under Stelvin to eliminate cork taint and random oxidation problems as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Valpolicella has a lovely intensity of red cherry fruit, lifted perfumes and a ripe yet zesty character on the palate. 'La Grola', sleek and beguiling, sets the standard by which all other wines from Valpolicella are judged. The ‘Palazzo della Torre’, a 'baby Amarone' produced by Allegrini's unique approach to the ripasso method, is plush and rounded. Their Amarone is outstanding, intense yet balanced. The ‘Fieramonte’ Amarone Riserva comes from a single vineyard and is produced in very limited quantities (3,000 bottles) with a strict selection of only the best fruit. The wine is an extremely powerful and unique Amarone. 'La Poja' is Allegrini’s flagship wine. Made solely from Corvina, it is the original - and still the finest - 'super Veronese'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eALLEGRINI\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.allegrini.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The official website of Allegrini Wines\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/desktop_icon_cd1f9a91-a06b-4665-880d-cc47c0dde6d7_480x480.jpg?v=1588261941\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AllegriniWinery\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Like the Allegrini Winery on Facebook\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/facebook_icon_d3f13554-5a1f-49e3-a487-0da023dfd02d_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AllegriniGroup\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Follow Allegrini Wines on Twitter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/files\/twitter_icon_34f9bd96-ace0-4f23-b0ee-0e0d2f8cc379_480x480.jpg?v=1588261424\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"allegrini-valpolicella","title":"Allegrini Valpolicella 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eAllegrini's Valpolicella is sourced from vineyards located in the hills of the Valpolicella Classico region at 180-280 metres above sea level.

The wine is made primarily from  Corvina sourced from hillside vineyards in the Classico area of Valpolicella. The grapes are dried at 'Terre di Fumane', a state of the art drying centre with controlled temperature and humidity. Under these conditions, the development of botrytis was avoided and the integrity of the fruit preserved allowing for a rich, powerful wine with characteristic dried cherry aromas and a tremendous structure. Allegrini's Amarone is a classic expression of the appellation with both tradition and a sense of place.
