Allegrini
Allegrini , thanks to the knowledge gained through years of experimentation and research, has perfected a style of Amarone capable of maintaining and enhancing the integrity of the fruit, thanks to a mix of tradition and innovation that has its roots in 1854 . Amarone is the result of all the wisdom of the Allegrini family, a true classic of the denomination, a red that sums up tradition, territory and peasant wisdom . Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta are left to wither at least until December, checking their health on a daily basis: the result is history, passion and continuous growth.

Amarone della Valpolicella Corte Giara represents an eclectic and modern interpretation of the Veronese winemaking tradition that arises from a project developed in 1989 by the Allegrini family, responding to the need to adapt classic production to daily consumption. This Amarone faithfully reflects the tradition that makes it a great red of international fame, but at the same time expresses a modern style, in step with the evolution of contemporary taste. In addition to replicating the traditional procedures required for its vinification, we find a specific aging of 15 months that gives it a peculiar intensity and balance, making it pleasant even for less trained palates.

Valpolicella Appellation: A Journey to the Heart of Italian Wines
The Valpolicella appellation is a true gem in the Italian wine scene. Located in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, Valpolicella is renowned for its high-quality wines and rich winemaking tradition. In this article, we'll explore the history, grape varieties, production processes, and distinctive characteristics that make the Valpolicella appellation so internationally renowned.
Introduction to the Valpolicella Denomination
The Valpolicella appellation is a wine-growing region in the Veneto region, known for producing high-quality wines. This appellation encompasses several zones, including Valpolicella Classica, Valpantena, Valpolicella Est, Valpolicella Valdadige, and the Recioto della Valpolicella area. Each zone contributes its unique characteristics to the production of Valpolicella wines.
History and territory of Valpolicella
The history of viticulture in Valpolicella dates back to Roman times, but it's over the centuries that this region has acquired a reputation for winemaking excellence. The Valpolicella region is characterized by rolling hills, a Mediterranean climate, and soil rich in calcareous marl, gravel, and clay. These geographical and climatic conditions offer an ideal environment for growing native grape varieties.
Main grape varieties of Valpolicella
The Valpolicella appellation is distinguished by the use of native grape varieties that give the wines a unique character. The main grape varieties grown in the region are Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara. Corvina Veronese is the dominant grape, known for its contribution to the structure, color, and complex aromas of Valpolicella wines.
Valpolicella wine production process
The production of Valpolicella wines follows a rigorous process that begins with the grape harvest, usually between September and October. After harvest, the grapes are sorted and placed in crates to preserve their integrity. The grapes are then gently pressed to obtain the must, which is fermented at a controlled temperature.
A distinctive aspect of Valpolicella wine production is the use of appassimento (drying). A portion of the grapes, particularly for the production of Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto della Valpolicella , are dried in ventilated rooms for several months. During the drying process, the grapes lose some of their water, concentrating their sugars and aromas.
Types of Valpolicella wines
The Valpolicella denomination includes several types of wines, each with its own unique characteristics. Among the most well-known are:
- Valpolicella Classico: a young and fruity red wine, ideal for everyday drinking.
- Valpolicella Superiore: a more structured and complex wine, obtained from selected grapes and aged for a longer period.
- Amarone della Valpolicella : a dry, intense and full-bodied red wine, obtained from dried grapes.
- Recioto della Valpolicella : a sweet and enveloping red wine, also produced from dried grapes.
Organoleptic characteristics of Valpolicella wines
Valpolicella wines are characterized by a wide range of aromas and flavors. Valpolicella Classico wines offer notes of fresh fruit, such as cherries and strawberries, with a pleasant freshness. More structured wines, such as Amarone della Valpolicella , feature complex aromas of dried fruit, spices, tobacco, and chocolate. Recioto della Valpolicella , on the other hand, stands out for its sweet aromas of ripe fruit, raisins, and honey.
Food pairings with Valpolicella wines
Valpolicella wines lend themselves to a wide variety of culinary pairings. Valpolicella Classico wines pair well with pasta dishes, risotto, white meats, and fresh cheeses. Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto della Valpolicella pair beautifully with red meats, roasts, aged cheeses, and dark chocolate. The complexity and structure of these wines also make them ideal for meditation.
