ALLEGRINI

Leading producer of Valpolicella Classica, Allegrini is a winery that has always been recognized as one of the most important and significant in the Italian scene. Owned by the Allegrini family since the 16th century, the company can count on over 100 hectares of vineyards located on the hills of Fumane, Sant’Ambrogio, San Pietro in Cariano and more generally in all the historical areas of the appellation. An area dedicated to viticulture since ancient times, as confirmed by the etymology of its name: "val polis cellae" means, in fact, "the valley of many cellars". Located in western Veneto, between Verona and Lake Garda, and bordered to the north by the Lessini mountains, Allegrini winery is located in an area where corvina, rondinella, molinara and other historic native vines, give life to some of the best reds of the Peninsula. The agronomic management is strongly attentive to innovation, but at the same time it’s oriented towards respect for the environment, towards biodiversity, and sustainability. This is why the direction being taken is that of organic certification. In the cellar, many innovations and improvements have been introduced over the years, starting with the use of the barrique, which went alongside the large traditional barrels, up to the shortening of the aging period so as not to distort the imprint variety of the grapes, passing through the revision of drying techniques and oenological procedures for the production of Recioto and Ripasso. This way, some of the best Italian wines come to life: elegant and refined wines, unmistakable and flawless, unique, enveloping and extremely pleasant, interpreted by Allegrini family in the wake of a skilful centuries-old tradition, and at the same time, to meet modernity and the current tastes of today's palates.
