The Guyot-trained vines benefit from a south-east exposure and grow on soils characterised by a strong \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone component\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential element for imparting freshness to the glass. The temperature variations between day and night encourage the development of clear and complex aromas in the grapes.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature for about nine days, to ensure a precise extraction of colour and aromas.

This is followed by a final two-month rest in \u003cstrong\u003econcrete vats\u003c\/strong\u003e, a crucial step to stabilise the organoleptic notes and preserve the wine's vibrant acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllegrini, a historic winery founded in Fumane in 1854, signs this exceptional \u003cstrong\u003eValpolicella Classico Superiore DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e.
