The Allegrini family,  has been handing down grape growing and wine producing traditions over many generations, playing a major role in the Valpolicella Classico area, near Verona, as far back as the 16th century. Their wine has charmed the most refined palates around the world, building on the historic value of Amarone della Valpolicella. They produce the Valpolicella, a Ripasso, and Amarone della Valpolicella. They also produce the amazing sweet Amarone, Recioto della Valpolicella. We will have a special lunch menu to match these wines.
