Why You'll Love It
This is Amarone at its most accomplished: concentrated without being clumsy, with deep cherry and dried fig, warm spice and a lovely savoury finish. The magnum format is particularly well suited to slow development. Open for a special dinner with braised beef or mature cheese.
About The Producer
Allegrini is one of the families that defined modern Valpolicella. With roots in Fumane stretching back to the sixteenth century, the estate is particularly associated with Giovanni Allegrini's pioneering work on hillside vineyards and the careful drying of grapes for Amarone. His children helped bring that ambition to an international audience, establishing the estate among Italy's most admired producers. Precision in the vineyards, rigorous fruit selection and carefully controlled appassimento result in wines that combine the generosity of Veneto with remarkable clarity and longevity. Its Amarone remains one of the benchmarks for the entire appellation.
Winemaking Information
The 2017 Amarone is a blend of approximately 45% Corvina Veronese, 45% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta from the Valpolicella Classico hills. Selected bunches are hand-harvested and dried for three to four months, losing roughly 40–45% of their weight. After fermentation in stainless steel and extended maceration, the wine matures in oak, including around 18 months in barriques, then further ageing in larger casks and bottle. This listing is a 1.5-litre magnum.
