Product notes

The Valpolicella Classico DOC Allegrini is the wine for any occasion. Served chilled, it’s perfect with pasta dishes like pasta alla norma, as well as roasts and grilled meats. It’s also worth trying with seafood dishes such as a seafood stew or a Livornese caciucco.

Production notes

The grapes undergo soft pressing, then fermentation occurs in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. Ageing is carried out in stainless steel until mid-February, then for 2 months in the bottle.

Tasting notes

It displays an elegant aromatic profile, with notes of sour cherry, strawberry, and a delicate hint of violet. On the palate, it offers a fresh and harmonious sip, with good acidity that brings vibrancy and well-integrated tannins that support the taste.

Falstaff

- 90 points -

Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler, October 2024 (Vintage 2023)
