Allegrini, Valpolicella, 375ml Half Bottle

€14.99

An attractive and wonderfully juicy Valpolicella made by one of the most important families in the Veneto. Packed full of mature cherry and plum flavours, this is mouthwatering, generous and vibrant. A gorgeous wine from one of Italy's most successful and beloved regions.

This is a half bottle of Veronese delight.

Nestled in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone, Allegrini have been cultivating vineyards here for centuries, but originally just selling grapes rather than wines. It wasn't until the 1970s that Giovanni Allegrini began bottling the estate's own production, which has been passed on to his children, Walter, Marilisa, and Franco. Since then, they have become one of the leading lights of the region.

Some wines shout; others sing softly. Allegrini’s Valpolicella Classico is the latter: a quiet but confident voice that tells the story of its land with no fuss. It’s a wine that holds the hills of Valpolicella in its heart, and year after year offers a snapshot of the season.

It is quite simply delicious. It dances on the palate with a gentle zing from the fresh acidity, keeping things lively, while the soft and supple tannins do their job quietly, holding the structure without ever pushing. It’s precise, not precious. And though this wine was made for food, it would itself be a very pleasant companion to warm summer's evening.

In a world of overstatement, this Valpolicella is a reminder that sometimes, simplicity speaks loudest.

Amazing service from the get go!
I emailed Chris looking for wine recommendations for a birthday gift. Got a really speedy, helpful reply and not only that but he hand delivered it on time to the birthday girl wishing her a happy birthday. Absolutely bowled over by the service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Could not recommend The Allotment enough. The selection is fantastic and each wine that I've drank from them has been utterly phenomenal. Delivery was no hassle and I had the wine at my door in 2 days. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

A great experience ordering from The Allotment Wine Company. A wide variety of wines to try something new and at good prices with super quick delivery! Really convenient too as opposed to trying to find parking!

★★★★★
Delicious and interesting range of wines delivered promptly to my door. Not far off that lovely feeling of coming back laden from a good wine store but without any of the traffic or the worry of breaking the wine en route (very impressive travel wrap).
