Food match: Allegrini Palazzo della Torre
Pairs well spicy seafood stews, grilled salmon, poultry & game. Valpolicella’s simple flavours go well with classic Italian dishes such as pizza and pasta. Goes well as poultry and some beef dishes. It is also one of the few reds that can complement seafood or salads, due to the wine’s relatively light body and tannins.
Producer:
The Allegrini family estate covers 120 hectares of vineyard in the heart of the Valpolicella area. The family make wine here for six generations. But was Giovanni Allegrini who founded the vineyard as we know now. When he passed away in 1983, his three children take the control of the Vineyard. And they ran it together until Walter’s death in July 2003. Franco ( the youngest son) is now who looks after the vineyards and the winemaker. Marilisa (his daughter)Â is the director of marketing.
Thanks to its status as a DOC wine under the Italian appellation system, Valpolicella wine has many stipulations that are required by law. Each wine must have from 45 to 95% Corvina. Which is the standard grape of the region, but up to 50% of this quota can be substituted with Corvinone. This is the source of the wine’s prominent cherry flavours. Additionally, Rondinella grapes must make up 5 to 30% of the blend, they gave the wine this bright floral notes. Molinara is another grape that they can use sparingly. The resulting wine is bright, lively, good balanced and with accessible fruity flavours.
