Winemaker's Background: The Allegrini family has been a cornerstone of Valpolicella winemaking since the 16th century, with Giovanni Allegrini playing a pivotal role in modernizing the region's viticulture in the 1960s. Today, the legacy continues with the next generation—Francesco, Giovanni, Matteo, and Silvia—who uphold the family's dedication to quality and innovation. The vineyards of Valpolicella Classica, known for their calcareous soils and mild climate, provide the ideal conditions for producing this esteemed red wine.
