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.

Masi
Proud, majestic, complex, exuberant, it represents a special selection of Costasera, the gentle giant of Masi . 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 .
