Allegrini Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2024

Allegrini Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2024 is a lively, food-friendly red from the historic Valpolicella Classica area, made from Corvina and Rondinella. Sourced from the Grola hillside and shaped by Allegrini’s long-standing approach to winemaking, it pairs bright red-fruit character with a supple, balanced finish.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a ruby-red colour with violet reflections. The nose brings together strawberry, cherry and red plum, with delicate hints of dried rose and a discreet touch of wood. Dry and fresh on the palate, the wine has soft, well-integrated tannins and a rounded red-fruit profile, finishing with pleasing fruit and moderate length. Its lively balance makes it enjoyable in its youth; the supplied information does not specify a longer ageing window.

Production
The grapes come from the Grola hillside in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, where southeast-facing Guyot-trained vines grow in clay- and limestone-rich soils. Day-to-night temperature variation helps preserve freshness and develop aromatic detail. The fruit is hand-harvested, typically in mid-September, then fermented in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks for around nine days. The wine matures for six months in large casks, followed by a further two months in concrete vats to settle and stabilise its character.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly cool, around 16–18°C, with roast chicken, grilled pork, tomato-based pasta or a selection of mild to medium-aged cheeses. A brief opening in the glass should be enough; decanting is optional, though 15–30 minutes in a carafe can help the aromas open up.

Producer
Founded in Fumane in 1854, Allegrini is one of the established names of Valpolicella, a region whose wines are closely tied to Veneto’s winemaking heritage. The family-run estate is known for expressing the character of its local vineyards, including the Grola hillside, through careful vineyard work and considered winemaking.
