THE PRODUCER
Renowned globally as a benchmark for Italian winemaking, Allegrini stands as the
foremost producer within the Valpolicella region.

With viticultural roots tracing back to the 16th century, the Allegrini family
cultivates more than 100 hectares of vineyards located across some of
Valpolicella’s most esteemed crus.

Their Amarone wines are a testament to centuries of expertise, showcasing the
family’s deep-rooted heritage and exceptional command of the traditional
Appassimento method. The result is a distinctive, expressive style that has
become synonymous with the Allegrini name.

THE WINE

Crafted from meticulously hand-harvested grapes, only the finest fruit is
selected for this exceptional wine. After a natural drying process in dedicated
lofts, the grapes are gently destemmed and pressed in January. Fermentation is
followed by an extended ageing regime: 48 months in French oak barriques, then a
further six months in large Slavonian oak casks, and finally, around a year of
bottle maturation to refine the structure and depth.

Allegrini’s Riserva Fieramonte, an Amarone della Valpolicella Classico,
originates from a high-altitude vineyard positioned at 415 metres above sea
level. The site is characterised by rocky, mineral-rich soils with high levels
of magnesium and iron—ideal conditions for producing a wine of remarkable
complexity and character.

CRITICS SCORES
We choose our wines based on a range of criteria(seehow we choose our wines)of
which critic scores is justone. Rather than simply highlight the best score to
promote a wine, our average critic score is calculated from the scores provided
by several respected wine critics, who we follow for specific regions. They do
not represent all critic scores and, wherever possible, we try and give more
weight to more recent reviews. Where appropriate we consider market-based scores
like Global Wine Score or Wine Searcher Average scores.

As a rule, we look to offer wines that achieve a92/100average critic score or
better and frankly a lot of very good wines simply don’t make the cut. As a
high-end provider we want to reflect that positioning in the quality of wines we
offer. Such wines are only a tiny fraction of those generally on offer in the
market. We believe that an average score is a more conservative and
representative approach, but it is still subjective and only offered as a guide
to our customers, who will (and should) do their own research. We will add
individual critic scores to our website in the future.
