The result of a targeted blend of \u003cstrong\u003eCorvina\u003c\/strong\u003e and Rondinella grapes, it presents a fresh, dry, and sleek profile. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, supported by well-integrated \u003cstrong\u003esoft tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and characterised by a clear fruity finish. Its balanced style and careful production, which includes fermentation in steel and a period in wood, enhance its remarkable versatility in food pairings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this wine come from vineyards cultivated on the Grola Hill, in the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eValpolicella Classica\u003c\/strong\u003e, in Veneto. The vines benefit from south-eastern exposure and grow on mixed soils with a significant \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone component\u003c\/strong\u003e, decisive elements for imparting freshness and structure. The local climate is marked by significant \u003cstrong\u003etemperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e between day and night, an essential geographical factor that promotes the full development of aromas and quality concentration in the bunches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with a rigorous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e usually carried out around mid-September. Fermentation takes place inside temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for approximately nine days, allowing for a calculated extraction of colour and aromas. Subsequently, the wine matures for six months in \u003cstrong\u003elarge oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a period useful for softening the tannic texture while keeping the fruit's identity intact. The cycle concludes with two months of refinement in \u003cstrong\u003econcrete vats\u003c\/strong\u003e, necessary to definitively stabilise the organoleptic characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in Fumane in 1854, the historic \u003cstrong\u003eAllegrini\u003c\/strong\u003e winery creates this exceptional Valpolicella DOC.
