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

A rich hint of tarry smoke on the nose is more subtle on the palate in this harmonious red, underscoring an expressive range of black cherry, dried fig, espresso and the loamy earth and herb aromatics of a forest floor. Tangy citrus peel acidity and fine-grained tannins provide fine definition through to the lightly chewy finish. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta.
