Located in Fumane di Valpolicella, the Allegrini family have been producing wine in the region since 1557 and today tend around 70 hectares of vines in the communes of Fumane, Sant Ambrogio and San Pietro, all situated within the Valpolicella Classico DOC. The Allegrini range includes Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto as well as the single vineyard wines, La Grola made from Corvina, Rondinella, Syrah and Sangiovese and La Poja produced from just Corvina. Work in both the vineyard and winery is meticulous with no stone left unturned. Allegrini are considered to be one of the regions, and Italy’s finest producers.

Rondinella wines, originating from the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, particularly in the Valpolicella area, are esteemed for their contribution to traditional Italian blends, notably in wines such as Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella. Rondinella is an indigenous grape variety of the region, prized for its vibrant color and aromatic profile. While it is often overshadowed by the more renowned Corvina grape, Rondinella plays a crucial role in adding depth and complexity to Valpolicella blends.

Rondinella wines typically exhibit a bright and fruity character, with flavors of red berries, cherry, and floral undertones. The grape's thin skin and high acidity contribute to wines that are fresh, lively, and approachable. While Rondinella is rarely vinified as a single varietal wine, its presence in blends enhances the overall structure and balance, providing a complement to the richer and more tannic Corvina. Rondinella's versatility and ability to thrive in the Veneto's terroir make it an integral part of the region's winemaking tradition, offering a taste of Italy's rich viticultural heritage in every sip.
