2003 has been a very hot year with low precipitation. The yield per hectare was rather low. For this reason, wines of fine quality were obtained, which are very structured and have a good aromatic balance. A well-structured, complex, elegant and velvety wine, with intense ruby red colour. It has a warm and spicy bouquet, with aroma of raisins. In fact, it is made from dried Corvina Veronese, Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, by using the thousand-year-old technique of APPASSIMENTO. After being harvested, the grapes are left to dry naturally for three to four months. Amarone is an extremely important wine in Italian viticulture, an exclusive and unique symbol of the Valpolicella region. In the course of time Allegrini has improved its production with the aim to best preserve the characteristics of the fruit and has established itself as one of the truest interpreters of its uniqueness. It can age for more than 20 years.
