This is a fresh and plump red wine with easy appeal. Corvina Veronese makes up most of the blend at 65% and the rest of the wine is Rondinella (30%) and Molinara (5%). The bouquet is raw and fruity in character with bright primary flavors of white plum, cherry and forest berry. There are subtle hints of herbs and cola as well. The finish is simple and slightly sour.

About this wine
Allegrini's Corte Giara represents the classic expression of Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore from Italy's renowned Veneto region. This red wine is crafted from the traditional Valpolicella blend, a harmonious combination of native grapes that have defined northeastern Italian winemaking for centuries. The ripasso technique, where the wine is re-fermented on the dried skins of Amarone grapes, adds depth and complexity while maintaining the fresh, approachable character the region is celebrated for.
The Allegrini estate, a cornerstone of Valpolicella production, brings generations of expertise to every bottle. Corte Giara showcases a light-intensity profile with elegant red fruit aromatics and subtle herbaceous notes, delivering a full-bodied wine that remains refreshingly balanced at 14% ABV. This is a versatile companion to the table, equally at home alongside grilled meats, rich mushroom risotto, aged cheeses, and cured charcuterie as it is with lamb, beef, duck, or venison.
Whether served in a villa's dining room or a fine-dining setting, this Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore exemplifies Italian red wine craftsmanship, sophisticated yet unpretentious, complex yet approachable.
