| Perfume | Allegrini's Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC shows notes of strawberry, cherry and red plum, accompanied by delicate hints of wood and dried rose. |
| Taste | The palate is sleek, with a freshness that supports the sip and prolongs the fruity sensation of the finish. The tannin is soft and well integrated, inviting the next sip. |
| Production method | The 2023 vintage was one of the most challenging in recent years. Due to some extreme weather events, the ripening process slowed down physiologically; therefore, the decision of when to harvest was crucial for the quality aspect. This year, it was of primary importance to proceed with a precision harvest and strict selection, in order to bring only the best of the ripe fruit to the winemaking process. Fortunately September gave us ideal weather, with sunny, warm days and cool nights, which allowed us to recover and achieve the desired ripeness. |
| Pairings | The Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC Allegrini, with its great versatility, can be paired with various tasty dishes. Excellent with tagliatelle with white rabbit ragout, beef carpaccio with parmesan shavings and porcini mushrooms, or with a selection of delicate cured meats such as soppressa veneta and prosciutto crudo. For a vegetarian pairing, it is ideal with mushroom or herb risottos. |

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
