Description
This is one of the wines that has made Allegrini famous worldwide. The winery produces a full-bodied red wine with an ageing potential of at least 10 years. The blend is the historic combination of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. The 30% of the grapes are dried and the resulting wine is blended with the one vinified in September. The result is a velvety, well-balanced red wine that proffers mature, pulpy fruit.

Belonging to the family of the same name since the 16th century, the Allegrini winery is located in the Valpolicella Classica area: in particular, it is situated where vines such as corvina, molinara and rondinella give life to what are considered some of the best red wines of the Peninsula. xtraWine offers numerous bottles of Allegrini Allegrini wines that stand out for their refinement and elegance, very pleasant and capable of enveloping you with every sip, conquering even the most demanding palates. This is due to continuous improvements in production such as the introduction of the use of barriques alongside the traditional large barrels, and even a reduction in the ageing period so as not to alter too much the quality of the grapes used.
Not only Valpolicella, on xtraWine you can find Allegrini wines such as Amarone, Valpolicella and Recioto. Read more
