Allegrini

The Allegrini family, which has always covered prominent soils in the local community, has been producing high quality wine in its historic Valpolicella cellar for over 400 years , but it is under the guidance of the brothers Walter, Marilisa and Franco that the company has made protagonist of one of the most successful stories in the world of Italian wine .

It was in 1983 when, after Giovanni's death, affectionately defined "the spider of the barrels" for the agility with which he moved in the cellar, his three children, then in their early twenties, found themselves inheriting the company. Collecting the spirit, industrious spirit and passion of the father , the Allegrini brothers, while keeping the company anchored to a rigorous tradition, will immediately prove forward-looking on the evolution of time and taste: it will be Franco, today considered one of the greatest winemakers Italians , to introduce significant innovations in the production of the key wines of Valpolicella, from the use of the barrique, to the review of the drying and the "ripasso" technique at the base of Palazzo della Torre , a wine entered six times in the TOP 100 by Wine Spectator . Also to Franco and his brother Walter, who died prematurely in 2003, we also owe the enhancement of Corvina , one of the most significant grape varieties of Valpolicella, which, vinified in purity from the cru of the La Grola estate, will give rise to what together with the Amarone (Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso) is one of the company's cult wines: "La Poja" .
