The Wine
This is the type of wine that made Allegrini famous – a dense red of extraordinary richness and length. Franco Allegrini is the winemaker, one of the finest in Italy. The grapes – Corvina, Rondinella and Sangiovese – are from vineyards first planted in 1962. They surround a superb Renaissance palace in the heart of Valpolicella now owned by the family. The grapes are picked in two sweeps – the first carefully fermented, the second air-dried for two months before being added to the main portion of wine, then refermented in cask, much like the Ripasso method that has become so fashionable. This lends a dense, cherry complexity to the wine, rather than overtly oaky notes. The family suggest serving this wine with pork or saffron risotto.
