Corvina Veronese 80%, Rondinella 15%, Oseleta 5%.
A well-structured, complex, elegant and velvety wine, with intense ruby red colour. It has a warm and spicy bouquet, with aroma of raisins. In fact, it is made from dried Corvina Veronese, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, by using the thousand-year-old technique of APPASSIMENTO: after being harvested, the grapes are left to dry for three to four months, Amarone is an extremely important wine in Italian viticulture, a unique and unrepeatable symbol of the Valpolicella region. In the course of time Allegrini has improved its production with the aim to best preserve the characteristics of the fruit and has established itself as one of the truest interpreters of its uniqueness.
It can age for 20 years.
This wine is traditionally drunk with game, roasted and grilled meats, casseroles and well matured cheeses. Excellent with hearty dishes. Since the grapes are allowed to dry partially before fermenting, Amarone has a distinctive flavour which can also
accompany new or exotic sweet and sour dishes. It is therefore also
perfectly suited for drinking with asian and middle-eastern dishes. Serve at 18°C (64°F) and open the
bottle an hour before drinking.
They’ve been making top notch table wines in Valpolicella since the Ancient Greek era, the name thought to be a blend of Latin and Greek meaning ‘Valleys of Cellars’, though no one quite knows for sure. What is known is that the wines produced there are light and fragrant, sometimes served slightly chilled, are always red, and often ready to be consumed within a few weeks of harvest. The best, though, last for over 20 years in the cellar, maturing into stellar wines amongst the upper echelon of their type in the world.
