More About This Wine
About Allegrini
Allegrini's wine-making history stretches back to the 16th century. In the mid-20th century, Giovanni Allegrini modernized the operation, sought out national and international markets for his wine, and before he died, in 1983, purchased the La Grola vineyard, now the jewel in the Allegrini crown. Today, Giovanni's children, Franco and Marilisa, manage Allegrini's diverse portfolio.

A Monster from Allegrini

This wine blew us away. Intense, complicated, smooth fruit flavor with a finish that just won't quit. I could still taste it the next night. Great drinking now but this wine should continue to improve for quite a few years. Do yourself a favor and try a bottle.

Rich and full-bodied with an amazing concentration of fruit. Already showing elegance and a velvety texture. 95 points from Robert Parker of the Wine Advocate. This incredible Amarone
will need at least 7-10 years in the cellar before starting to reach it's stride. We would recommend enjoying this intense, lovely Amarone with game and roasted meats and Reggiano-
Parmignano cheese with crusty Italian bread.
