Amarone is history, passion and vision. Vigorous and intense, it expertly balances power and elegance while maintaining and enhancing the integrity of the fruit. Acclaimed by wine lovers and international critics alike, Amarone Allegrini is recognized as the benchmark in winemaking excellence in Valpolicella.
The Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a deep ruby red where the full body is perfectly balanced with the refreshing acidity of the sip. It is a very intense and complex wine, rich in black fruits like black cherries and prune with hints of violet, black pepper, mediterranean herbs such as thyme. The nose goes deeper with hints of forest floor, grafite and tertiary aromas such as nuts, figs and vanilla. The sip is intense, with firm ripe tannins that are really well integrated in the wine and a very long finish. The wine could age for further 20 years, developing more tertiary notes.
