The 2014 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico (a blend of 45% Corvina Veronese, 45% Corvinone, 5% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta with 120 days of appassimento) opens to a dark and robust appearance with dried fruit aromas, prune, blackberry preserves, spice, tar and sweet tobacco. The wine is full-bodied for sure, but this vintage is a little less intense in terms of construction and persistence. The mouthfeel is a little more streamlined, just by a hair, compared to a warmer and drier vintage. An ample 100,000 bottles were made.

Allegrini is a renowned wine producer located in the Veneto region of Italy. The winery has a rich history dating back to the 16th century when the Allegrini family began producing wine in the Valpolicella region. Today, the winery is run by the fifth generation of the family and is known for its high-quality wines.

Allegrini produces a range of wines, including Valpolicella, Amarone, and Recioto. The Valpolicella is a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes and is known for its bright fruit flavors and light body. The Amarone is made from the same grapes but is dried for several months before being fermented, resulting in a rich, full-bodied wine with intense flavors of dried fruit and spice. The Recioto is a sweet wine made from partially dried grapes and is known for its rich, complex flavors.

The winery uses traditional winemaking techniques, including hand-harvesting and natural fermentation, to produce its wines. The grapes are carefully selected and sorted before being fermented in stainless steel tanks or oak barrels. The wines are then aged in oak barrels for several months to several years, depending on the style.

Allegrini is committed to sustainable winemaking practices and has implemented a number of initiatives to reduce its environmental impact. The winery uses solar panels to generate electricity and has implemented a water recycling system to reduce water usage.

Overall, Allegrini is a top producer of high-quality wines from the Veneto region of Italy. Its commitment to traditional winemaking techniques and sustainable practices has earned it a reputation as one of the best wineries in the region.
