Interesting facts
Amarone is an extremely important wine in Italian viticulture, symbolizing the Valpolicella area. Before the emergence of Amarone, the wine Recioto was known, which was also produced but was sweet and considered one of the best wines in Valpolicella. Initially, Amarone was called Recioto Scappato, meaning "the Recioto that escaped" (as it is essentially a fermented Recioto without residual sugar), and until 1980, bottles of Amarone were labeled Recioto Amarone. Recognized by wine lovers and international critics, Allegrini, Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is acknowledged as a benchmark of production excellence in Valpolicella. The winemaking technology is unusual: the grapes are initially dried (appassimento) in the open air (for about 100 days), resulting in a loss of up to 40% of their weight. Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 8-22°C lasts for 25 days. The wine is aged for 18 months in new oak barriques, 7 months in large barrels, and 14 months in bottles. The storage potential of the wine exceeds 25 years. Amarone is recommended to be decanted one hour before serving.
About the Manufacturer
The Allegrini estate is located in Fumane di Valpolicella. Since the 16th century, the Allegrini family has lived in this small but significant area in Valpolicella Classico, passing down winemaking secrets from generation to generation. Giovanni Allegrini was at the forefront of reforming local winemaking practices, creating some of the most remarkable "Valpolicella" wines in the 60s and 70s of the 20th century. In the 1980s, his three children inherited the company. Today, the Allegrini vineyards, located in the most prestigious zones, cover more than 70 hectares. The Allegrini family is rightly considered one of the largest landowners in Italy. Among their holdings is the La Grola estate, which produces the most significant volume of products. The family company produces wines of the highest level. Today, all winemakers in the Veneto region follow the trends and innovations set by the Allegrini company, which has become a trendsetter. The producer has also done much to promote Venetian wines in the global market. According to Gambero Rosso — an authoritative Italian publication, Allegrini is considered a "Star" winery, with 21 "Tre Bicchieri" awards in its arsenal. A "Star" in Gambero Rosso refers to those wineries that have received at least 10 top scores. Currently, Marilisa Allegrini leads the Allegrini wine enterprise. She has been at the helm of the family business since the early 1970s, and during this time, the Allegrini house has become one of the most renowned wine estates in Italy and the largest in the Veneto region. Marilisa, along with her two brothers Walter and Franco, continues the work of their father — Giovanni Allegrini.
