Allegrini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2019 is a benchmark expression of one of Italy's most iconic wines — rich, complex and built with the extraordinary depth and concentration that only the appassimento method and Allegrini's mastery of Valpolicella can deliver.

Allegrini is one of the Valpolicella Classico zone's most celebrated and respected estates — a family winery with roots going back to the 16th century, widely regarded as one of the defining producers of modern Amarone. Their Amarone is the benchmark against which others in the region are measured.

Who This Is For
This is for someone who wants to experience one of Italy's greatest red wines from one of its finest producers.

Amarone is unlike any other wine in the world. The grapes — primarily Corvina — are harvested and then dried for 90–120 days in special drying lofts called fruttai, concentrating sugars, flavours and structure before fermentation.

Allegrini's version is the benchmark — powerful yet elegant, with depth and complexity that rewards patience and demands attention.

In my view, this is one of the finest Amarone available at this price — a wine that belongs in the same conversation as Italy's great reds.

What Makes This Wine Stand Out
This is all about the richness and complexity that only appassimento can deliver.

Dark cherry, black plum, dried fig, dark chocolate and mocha sit at the core, layered with tobacco, leather, spice and a subtle bitter chocolate finish.

The defining feature is the concentration — full-bodied with velvety tannins and a finish of exceptional length and depth. A wine that fills the glass, the room and the memory.

Food Pairing
A benchmark Amarone like this demands premium braised beef. We love it with Cape Grim Grass-Fed Whole Tenderloin Primal from My Meat Man — the rich marrow and slow-braised shank perfectly match the wine's dark cherry, dried fig, chocolate and velvety tannins. A pairing that does justice to both.

Why This Is a Smart Buy
If you want a benchmark Amarone from one of Valpolicella's most celebrated estates, this is exceptional value.

It delivers the depth of a 500-year family winemaking tradition, the richness of the appassimento method at its finest, and genuine long-term ageing potential.

Ideal for braised beef, osso buco, aged hard cheese, dark chocolate or a truly special occasion.
