Allegrini
Fumane di Valpolicella • Veneto • Italy
"The legacy of a family that transformed the destiny of a region. Allegrini combines the secular tradition of Veneto with a contemporary vision, creating wines that are the soul of Valpolicella."
The Renaissance of Valpolicella Classica
The Allegrini winery is synonymous with technical rigor and respect for the land. Located in the prestigious sub-region of Fumane, it has been primarily responsible for raising the standard of Italian wines through innovation in appassimento. This technique, endorsed by the Consorzio Valpolicella, involves the natural drying of Corvina and Rondinella grapes to concentrate sugars and polyphenols.
At La Cava Shop, we highlight Allegrini for its ability to produce red wines that defy time. Its focus on hillside viticulture — where calcareous soils and breezes from Lake Garda converge — allows labels such as La Grola and La Poja to consistently achieve scores above 95 points in publications like Wine Spectator and with critics like James Suckling.
Amarone: The King of Veneto
Allegrini's Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a monument to patience. After more than 100 days of drying, the wine develops an imposing structure that places it in our exclusive selection of cellar-worthy wines, with an aging potential of up to three decades.
Palazzo della Torre: The Super Veronese
This wine broke new ground by reintroducing the double fermentation technique. By combining fresh grapes with a portion of dried grapes, Allegrini creates a silky and deep profile that defines the style of the best contemporary Veneto wines.
Professional Tasting Protocol
Temperature and Oxygenation (Decanting)
For Allegrini's great red wines, a serving temperature of 18°C is recommended. In the case of Amarone, decanting for at least two hours is essential for the aromas of black cherry, licorice, and cocoa to fully emerge from the concentrated alcohol.
High-End Gastronomic Harmony
Wines with such tannic and glyceric weight demand equally substantial pairings: game meats, ossobuco alla Milanese, or aged cheeses like 36-month Parmigiano Reggiano. It is also the epitome of a "Meditation Wine," perfect for enjoying without solid accompaniment during moments of introspection.
