Allegrini's Amarone Classico is a stylistic benchmark for the region and an unusually gastronomic Amarone. In typical vintages, it hovers around 15.5% alcohol, with less than 3g/L residual sugar, maintaining a finesse that's rare in a region known more for port-like wines of power and density. They accomplish this restrained expression through high elevation vineyards as well as careful management of the appassimento process, avoiding any development of botrytis. They also use an unusually high amount of Corvinone in the blend (45% or more), a native grape that's larger-berried and thicker-skinned

An elegant red, with a supple texture and a frame of fine-grained tannins, this offers a generous core of plumped black cherry and warm fig. Shows notes of pomegranate seed, mocha, vanilla and spiced orange peel animated by bright, plum skin acidity. Long and creamy on the aromatic herb- and graphite-laced finish. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta. Drink now through 2035. 9,166 cases made, 2,992 cases imported.
