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.
