Giovanni Allegrini was the founder of the new generation and revolutionized changes to accepted practices. A blend of Corvina Veronese 45%, Corvinone 45%,Rondinella 5% & Oseleta 5%, deep Ruby with aromas of dried dark fruits, spice and herb, about 120 days of appassimento. Palate shows ripe cherry and strawberry flavors with fig, cacao, flint and mineral tones. Soft smooth tannins well balanced with acidity on a long spicy finish. Will continued to get better.

Sept 28, 2019. J2’s 5th bonus year celebration. TW Concierge offering April 2017. Purchased this and the Amarone. This is s solid Ripasso. Tart cherries, of course but not overpowering. Smooth, no pepper, hint of chocolate. 70% Corvina, 30% Rondinella. I believe Villa Cavarena is an Allegrini family label, from their Co-op? Definitely Allegrini quality and for <$20/bottle, what’s not to like??? — 2 months ago

This is one of the wines that has made Allegrini famous, vineyard surrounds Villa della Torre. A blend of 40% Corvina Veronese, 30% Corvinone, 25% Rondinella & 5% Sangiovese, deep Ruby with aromas of dried berry fruit and earthy pepper spice. Palate full of dried blackberry and blueberry flavors with cinnamon and leathery notes, good balance, lively acid and chewy tannins. Medium finish ending with fruit and sweet spice. Nice value.

Bright sour cherry notes with an underlying hint of almond. The terroir balances the acid and fruit quite nicely. Some raisin hints give this wine the right amount of depth for a ripasso. Very nice example. — 3 months ago

Very interesting Amarone style creation from Malbec and Cab in Argentina with Allegrini. Have that nose of red fruits and berries and that silky sweet texture. Be good to comp with the real thing. — 6 months ago
