This is packed tight with a concentrated, silky bead of ripe red berries and red cherries that drives through the palate, until fine, quite firm tannins block its path right at the end. Medium-bodied, but the concentration of fruit makes it feel heavier. Lots of energy here, but balance, too. Delicious now. Even better after another year in bottle. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Winemaker Notes,
Produced with the RIPASSO technique deliberately applied in a more restrictive way than the production specifications, it is obtained by passing the Valpolicella Classico over the Amarone pomace only once. The result is an authentic local wine that elegantly displays a beautiful complexity of fruity aromas and spicy tones well supported by good acidity and the right alcohol content.

Winemaker Notes
Ruby red in colour, with purplish-blue highlights; the nose exhibits fragrant fruit with prominent notes of cherries, echoed by fresher hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, typical of Corvina and Corvinone, the historic varietals of this appellation. Whilst young it is impressively lively and playful on the palate while it expresses greater delicacy and finesse some two years later

Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Strong floral notes of violet and rose emerge on the nose, followed by pleasant hints of cherry, peach, herbs and sweet spices. In the mouth, excellent structure, fine tannins, accompanied by a mineral trace and a nice freshness of the fruit.

Corvina
Winemaker Notes
An elegant, sophisticated wine with a noble profile and great aromatic expression. The enveloping and intense scent rises vertically, revealing ripe but still-fresh fruit, followed by notes of toasted tobacco, dark spices and liquorice. It enchants the palate with its extraordinary balance, lengthy persistence and soft, silky tannins.
When Giovanni Allegrini decided to plant only Corvina grapes on the top of La Grola in 1979, motivated by a great passion for his beloved Valpolicella, he did not imagine the extraordinary success this wine would achieve. The superior-quality viticulture and the perfect microclimate on this approximately 3-hectare plateau, whose white limestone surface dazzles in the sun, yield the best grapes that the Valpolicella can produce, to make this extraordinary and iconic Allegrini cru.

Winemaker Notes
Particularly intense and compact ruby red in colour, this Amarone opens on the nose with a dominant, broad and toasted scent of coffee and tobacco. On the palate, it impresses with its imposing structure. The tannins are centre stage but not aggressive on the palate, accompanied by a fresh and vital acidity that lengthens and streamlines the mouthfeel.
