Allegrini Amarone DOCG

The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a deep ruby red where the full body is perfectly balanced with the refreshing acidity of the sip. It is a very intense and complex wine, rich in black fruits like black cherries and prune with hints of violet, black pepper, mediterranean herbs such as thyme. The nose goes deeper with hints of forest floor, grafite and tertiary aromas such as nuts, figs and vanilla. The sip is intense, with firm ripe tannins that are really well integrated in the wine and a very long finish. The wine could age for further 20 years, developing more tertiary notes.

The Allegrini family has played a leading role in the history of Fumane and Valpolicella Classica since the 16th century and has handed down the culture of the vine and wine ever since. The company, which is among the most important landowning families, experienced a profound period of transformation starting in the 1960s with Giovanni Allegrini. Recognized as one of the greatest architects of the rebirth of Valpolicella, Giovanni perfected the art of winemaking, meticulously selecting the grapes and introducing some important innovations in viticulture and oenology.

Allegrini has achieved Biodiversity Friend certification year on year since 2017. This recognizes the care dedicated not only to the vines but also to the animals and insects that inhabit the countryside and to their natural habitat.
Since 2023 Beekeeping certification has also been added, testifying to the commitment to safeguarding this insect, so precious for preserving and promoting the biodiversity of the environment. In 2019, the Company also acquired Equalitas certification, which attests to the sustainability of the supply chain with regard to the environment, society, economy, and the entire network of suppliers. 2021 saw the introduction of constant monitoring of water consumption in the vineyards and the traceability of the Company’s carbon footprint, which quantifies CO2 emissions with the aim of rationalising.
