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.

It is a point of reference for the Amaroni category, which together with Barolo and Brunello represents the aristocracy of Italian reds. Here the authoritative expertise of Masi nell'Appassimento is interpreted with a long over-ripening of the grapes on bamboo racks and at least three years of aging in noble woods. The wise use of the native varieties of Valpolicella Classica Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara is enriched by the presence of the original Oseleta, rediscovered by Masi .

Valpolicella Denomination: A Journey into the Heart of Italian Wines
The Valpolicella Denomination is an authentic excellence of the Italian wine scene. Located in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, Valpolicella is famous for its high-quality wines and rich winemaking tradition. In this article we will explore the history, the grape varieties, the production processes and the distinctive characteristics that make the Valpolicella Denomination so appreciated internationally.
Introduction to the Valpolicella Denomination
The Valpolicella Denomination is a winegrowing area in the Veneto region, known for the production of high quality wines. This denomination includes several areas, including Valpolicella Classica, Valpantena, Valpolicella Est, Valpolicella Valdadige and the Recioto della Valpolicella area. Each area contributes its own 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 is over the centuries that this region has acquired a reputation for winemaking excellence. The Valpolicella area is characterized by gentle hills, a Mediterranean climate and a soil rich in calcareous marl, gravel and clay. These geographical and climatic conditions offer an ideal environment for the cultivation of native vines.
Main grape varieties of Valpolicella
The Valpolicella denomination is distinguished by the use of native vines which give the wines a unique character. The main vines grown in the region are Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara. Corvina Veronese is the dominant grape variety, known for its contribution to the structure, color and complex aromas of Valpolicella wines.
Production process of Valpolicella wines
The production of Valpolicella wines follows a rigorous process that begins with the grape harvest, usually between September and October. After harvesting, the grapes are selected and placed in boxes to preserve their integrity. Subsequently, the grapes are gently pressed to obtain the must, which is fermented at a controlled temperature.
A distinctive aspect in the production of Valpolicella wines is the use of drying. A part of the grapes, in particular for the production of Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto della Valpolicella , is dried in ventilated rooms for several months. During drying, the grapes lose part of their water, concentrating their sugars and aromas.
Types of Valpolicella wines
The Valpolicella Denomination includes different types of wines, each with its own unique characteristics. Among the best known we find:
- Valpolicella Classico: a young and fruity red wine, ideal for everyday consumption.
- Valpolicella Superiore: a more structured and complex wine, obtained from selected grapes and a longer aging 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 vast range of aromas and flavours. The Valpolicella Classicos offer notes of fresh fruit, such as cherries and strawberries, with a pleasant freshness. More structured wines, such as Amarone della Valpolicella , have complex aromas of dried fruit, spices, tobacco and chocolate. Recioto della Valpolicella , on the other hand, is distinguished by its sweet aromas of ripe fruit, raisins and honey.
Culinary pairings with Valpolicella wines
Valpolicella wines lend themselves to multiple culinary combinations. The Valpolicella Classicos go well with pasta dishes, risottos, white meats and fresh cheeses. The Amarone della Valpolicella and the Recioto della Valpolicella go splendidly with red meats, roasts, aged cheeses and dark chocolate. The complexity and structure of these wines also make them ideal for meditation.
Visit Valpolicella and its cellars
For wine lovers, visiting Valpolicella and its cellars is an unforgettable experience. Numerous wineries offer guided tastings, vineyard visits and detailed explanations of the wine making process. These visits allow you to immerse yourself in the local wine culture, discover the secrets of the native vines and taste the wines directly from the producer.
