Allegrini Valpolicella Classico 2017

93 points Decanter

This ruby red colored wine offers up classic qualities of Corvina, the historic grape variety of the appellation. The nose is fragrant and filled with red fruit and aromatic herbs. The lively palate is led by prominent flavors of cherries framed by hints of fresh pepper and additional herbs. This young wine has a buoyant energy to it, yet maintains great elegance. It will continue to develop even more delicacy and finesse as it ages.

With more than six generations of winegrowing tradition, Allegrini is the most-awarded winery in the Veneto and the benchmark for Amarone. The Allegrini family’s innovations in appassimento winemaking have made the estate’s classic Amarone and Valpolicella wines exemplars of excellence, while their emphasis on single vineyard expressions of local grape varieties has drawn renewed interest in the Veneto.
