Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018
The Winery
Allegrini
The Allegrini family upholds a rich historical legacy of excellence while continuing to push quality through innovation. Allegrini has modernized the appassimento winemaking by numerous measures, notably reducing bitterness and emphasizing desirable phenolic flavor compounds by adding dried fruit to previously vinified, fresh wine in lieu of passing fresh wine over grape pomace, which was traditionally done for Amarone. The Allegrinis pair modern techniques such as site selection by soil type, high density planting and guyot trellising to develop wines that tap into the incredible potential of a renewed approach to this historic region.
Summary
The Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018 is a striking red wine emblematic of the Valpolicella region, crafted from traditional varietals like Corvina and Corvinone, along with a touch of Oseleta. With grapes air-dried for approximately 100 days, this wine showcases a bold profile characterized by ripe fruit aromas of plum, blackberry, blackcurrant, and cherry, complemented by hints of oak, cocoa, and spices. The palate is silky and well-structured, with a balance of acidity and grippy tannins that enhance its lingering finish. This vintage reflects a lighter and fresher approach, making it an excellent choice for those seeking depth and complexity. Alcohol content ranges from 15% to 15.5%.
