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.

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.

Nice balance of black fruit and a cleansing beam of herbaceousness. This has richer texture than many Valpolicella wines - good acidity and length as well. Nice orange peel, Hint of Rose petal and geranium, medium clean finish. — 12 days ago

Omigod omigod Omigod. So many O’s all for Valpolicella. This is SO GOOD I can’t even but I will. Smells like red fruits and plums and cinnamon and cedar. Tastes elegantly rich, like all the things you smelled put on a crown and a velvet cape and took to an autumn’s night absorbing the flavors of fallen leaves and bitter licorice. Goodness gracious. This wine is an opera. — 15 days ago

Drinking a 2010 vintage in December 2019 and this wine is still drinking quite well and it could be argued that it’s at or near it’s peak. Excellent nose, beautiful color and lasting finish. Pairs well with red meats, stews, soups, cheeses and breads. Also roasted pork dishes that are more flavorful. Glad I bought a case and cellared it for several years. — 3 days ago
