Description

Tha Valpolicella region is in the eastern part of the Veneto in Italy’s north east. There are 6000 hectares of vines in the appellation, with reds the focus. Three grape varieties dominate production: Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone. However, other varieties are used in lesser quantities, such as Molinara and Oseleta (see my article on discovering ‘new’ old varieties in the region).

Much of what is produced here isn’t all that interesting, but there are some top producers, and Allegrini is one of them. The family have been in the region since the 16th century, and currently make wines with real personality, bridging tradition and modernity with great success.

They have 90 hectares of vineyards in the heart of the region, trained using a mix of the classical pergola system (3000 vines/hectare) and more modern vertical shoot positioned canopies (5000 vines/hectare).

Tasting Notes

Ruby red in colour, with purplish-blue highlights; the nose exhibits fragrant fruit with prominent notes of cherries, echoed by fresher hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, typical of Corvina and Corvinone, the historic varietals of this appellation. Whilst young it is impressively lively and playful on the palate whereas some two years on it expresses greater delicacy and finesse.
