✨ Technical Specifications
Corte Giara was established in 1989 by the historic Allegrini family, renowned pioneers of Valpolicella, with the vision of creating approachable, high-quality wines that faithfully express the diverse terroirs of the Veneto. This Millesimato Prosecco is a vintage-dated sparkling wine crafted predominantly from the Glera grape, grown in the sun-drenched, well-drained clay and limestone hills of the Prosecco DOC. Utilizing the Martinotti-Charmat method, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks, a technique designed to preserve the delicate, fresh aromatics of white flowers, golden apple, and pear. The term 'Millesimato' proudly highlights that the grapes are harvested from a single exceptional vintage, offering a pure and vibrant snapshot of that year's growing season in northeastern Italy.
🍾 About the Producer
Rooted in the Valpolicella Classica region since the sixteenth century, Allegrini stands as one of Italy's most revered and innovative winemaking estates, having been transformed into a global icon under the visionary leadership of Giovanni Allegrini in the mid-twentieth century. Based in Fumane within the Veneto region, the family-run estate harmoniously marries time-honored traditions with pioneering cellar and viticultural techniques, such as modernizing the traditional appassimento process. Allegrini is celebrated worldwide for its benchmark Amarone della Valpolicella Classico as well as prestigious single-vineyard crus like La Grola and the pure Corvina masterwork La Poja, alongside the acclaimed Palazzo della Torre. Expanding across Veneto with projects such as Corte Giara and artisanal grappas, the producer remains an enduring standard-bearer of Italian elegance and quality.
