The Allegrini family has been contributing to the history of Valpolicella since the 16th century. Giovanni Allegrini, the visionary, is considered the architect of its rebirth. A man they called "il ragno delle botti", the cellar master spider, because he wandered restlessly between his barrels, always in search of perfection. His son Franco carried on the legacy, revolutionising the Appassimento with the construction of the Terre di Fumane – a state-of-the-art drying facility that precisely controls temperature, humidity and air circulation. Since 2022, the winery has been in the hands of the third generation: Francesco, Giovanni, Matteo and Silvia. The Amarone comes from vines that have been rooted for over 30 years on the hills of Fumane, between 450 and 520 metres above sea level, on clay and limestone soils of volcanic origin. Corvina Veronese and Corvinone each make up 45 per cent of the cuvée, supplemented by Rondinella and Oseleta. After the manual harvest in September, the transformation begins: the grapes rest for four months in the fruttaio, losing 40 to 45 per cent of their weight and concentrating sugar and aromas. Gentle pressing in January, followed by 25 days of maceration at a controlled temperature. Ageing: 18 months in new barriques, a further seven months in large barrels and finally 14 months in the bottle – a total of over three years before the wine leaves the winery.

The result is an Amarone that maintains a rare balance between power and elegance. Dark fruit and undergrowth, spice and tobacco notes, warm and enveloping on the palate, with a fine tannin structure and a freshness that elegantly carries the opulent mouthfeel. Six times in the Wine Spectator Top 100, reference point for an entire appellation. Not just a wine – a legacy. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sleek and well-structured, offering flavors of crushed black cherry and black plum, black licorice, espresso, and thyme, all enmeshed with sculpted, fine-grained tannins. Long and fresh, with delicate notes of spices and graphite playing on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Very classic and intense, full of bay leaves, fresh black pepper, plums and blood oranges with tamarind and liquorice. Creamy and full-bodied on the palate, with roasted peppercorns, firm, velvety tannins and refreshing acidity." James Suckling
