Allegrini Amarone Classico offers a rich, velvety experience perfect for special occasions or slow evenings by the fire. With an ABV of 15.5%, this Italian red wine is crafted in the Valpolicella region using partially dried Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta grapes. The traditional appassimento method concentrates both flavor and aroma, resulting in a full-bodied wine that stands out for its depth and complexity.
On the palate, Allegrini Amarone Classico reveals layers of dark cherry, plum, cocoa, and subtle spice with hints of tobacco and dried fig. Its robust structure and lingering finish make it an excellent match for roasted lamb or aged Parmesan cheese. The wine’s bold tannins cut through rich meats while its nuanced sweetness complements savory cheeses beautifully, creating a harmonious dining experience.
Producer Information: Allegrini
Allegrini is based in the Valpolicella region of Italy, specifically in Fumane, near Verona. The family’s winemaking tradition dates back to the sixteenth century, with Giovanni Allegrini credited as a key figure in modernizing their approach during the twentieth century. Today, Allegrini combines traditional viticultural practices with innovative techniques such as temperature-controlled fermentation and careful vineyard management to enhance grape quality. Their estate vineyards are primarily planted on hillside sites with optimal sun exposure and well-drained soils, which contribute to the complexity and structure of their wines.
Beyond their flagship Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, Allegrini produces a diverse portfolio that includes varietals like Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Molinara for classic Valpolicella blends. They also craft single-varietal wines from international grapes such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grown on their Poggio al Tesoro estate in Bolgheri. In addition to red wines, they offer white wines like Soave made from Garganega grapes under the Corte Giara label. While primarily focused on wine production, Allegrini has expanded into olive oil production but does not produce spirits or beer within its core business operations.

Amarone is a distinctive Italian red wine known for its rich, full-bodied character, primarily produced in the Veneto region, specifically Valpolicella. This wine is crafted using a unique winemaking technique called appassimento, where grapes such as Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara are dried before fermentation, resulting in a dry to off-dry style that showcases intense flavors of dried fruits like figs and raisins, alongside cherries and plums.
The aromatic profile of Amarone features intense dark fruit notes complemented by herbal hints and subtle undertones of tobacco and leather. Its velvety tannins provide a luxurious mouthfeel that pairs beautifully with grilled meats, game dishes, aged cheeses, and rich pasta meals. Often reserved for special occasions or enjoyed as a sipping wine, Amarone embodies the essence of Italian winemaking tradition while offering an exquisite tasting experience.
