£64.44
The Allegrini winery is located in Veneto, Italy, and comprises 100 hectares of vineyards run by Franco and Marilisa Allegrini. The Allegrini family has contributed significantly to the international fame of Amarone.
Their Amarone is a cuvée consisting of 45% Corvina Veronese, 45% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta, with all the grapes coming from their own vineyards. As the soils on which these grapes grow are clayey and calcareous, they contribute to the unique quality of the wine. Once the grapes have been harvested and processed, the bottles are sealed with natural corks to preserve the freshness and flavour of the wine.
