Allegrini

A reflection of the Allegrini family’s winemaking expertise, Amarone Classico embraces the traditions, territory and character of this spectacular region. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta are carefully air dried on racks for 90–120 days and checked daily to ensure perfectly healthy skins. In this natural drying process, called appassimento, the grapes become more concentrated and lose 40% to 45% of their weight. This meticulous and lengthy aging results in an impressive red wine that is an icon of Italian winemaking. A wine with beautiful depth, complexity and length, this Amarone Classico has layered notes of ripe dark-skinned fruit, roasted raspberry, fruitcake and spice, lifted on the long, persistent finish by bright acidity and supple tannins.

Crafted from 100% Vermentino, Solosole reflects the radiance of both this quintessential Italian grape and its ideal seaside growing region of Bolgheri. Solosole means “only sunshine” in Italian, a name earned by the philosophy that only sun is allowed to influence the grapes and wine. There is minimal intervention in the cellar: no malolactic fermentation, wood aging or blending is used. Solosole opens with intense aromas of jasmine, citrus and pear. On the smooth palate, generous fruit notes of peach, apricot, lemon and green apple blend with hints of fresh herbs and crisp minerality before a long finish. The wine will evolve beautifully for several years.

Palazzo della Torre is a velvety, well-balanced red blend, offering mature, concentrated notes of dark fruit layered with hints of spice on the rich, full-bodied palate. Sophisticated and elegantly structured with soft tannins, Palazzo della Torre’s spicy vanilla, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon characteristics are contrasted with notes of black cherry, plum and dried fruit.

An international blend, Mediterra succeeds in the difficult task of expressing the rich complexity of Bolgheri terroir with a warm and approachable style. Fragrant and intensely fruity, the wine's blackberry, red plum and black cherry characteristics are interwoven with more incisive pepper and spice notes before the long, polished finish.

On a plateau atop La Grola hill lies a stunning white-soiled vineyard called LaPoja, planted exclusively with CorvinaVeronese. LaPoja wine was inspired by Giovanni Allegrini, embodying his passionate belief in the land where he lived. The meticulous attention to detail on the spectacular site yields grapes with great personality and maturity. After more than four years of bottle aging, the 2012 LaPoja shows extraordinarily vivacity with a full spectrum of fresh-picked fruit and baking spice characteristics with subtle herbal elements. Full bodied and luscious with a long, lingering finish, La Poja has obtained star status among Italian wine enthusiasts. Age for a decade or more.

The 2015 La Grola IGT is a deep ruby red with an expansive, alluring bouquet and elegant, harmonious palate. Fruit notes of ripe plum and wild berries blend with hints of coffee, backed by firm tannins. Full-bodied and intense while maintaining its finesse, the wine is made from Corvina Veronese and Oseleta grapes grown on terraces. The high plant density and the resulting low yields add to the wine’s unique concentration. Aging potential is 10-15 years.

At the pinnacle of the Poggio at Tesoro portfolio, Dedicato a Walter is dedicated by Marilisa and Franco Allegrini to their late brother, Walter. Crafted from 100% Cabernet Franc, the wine’s deep, dark color is the first hint of the richness of the 2015 Dedicato a Walter. Notes of dark-skinned berries and pepper are gracefully interwoven with hints of balsamic and eucalyptus. Beautifully balanced and age-worthy, Dedicato a Water sustains its impressive structure with light tautness for a wine that is both powerful and agile.

This Bolgheri Rosso is a blend of international varieties: 40% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Petit Verdot. In the glass, one can immediately grasp the impassioned enthusiasm and attention to the detail that is dedicated to Il Seggio. Intense ruby red in color, the nose offers aromas of fresh-cut red fruit, blending with hints of mineral and spice. The silky, elegantly textured palate has notes of red berries, blackberry, cassis and baking spice. Very soft tannins offer a smooth, inviting mouthfeel before a precise, clean finish.
