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.
🍾 wine.about_producer
With a winemaking heritage in the Valpolicella region dating back to the 16th century, Allegrini is one of Italy's most prestigious and pioneering estates, located in the heart of Fumane di Valpolicella. Under the visionary leadership of the late Giovanni Allegrini and subsequently his children, the family revolutionized local viticulture by introducing high-density Guyot vine training and single-vineyard expressions like the iconic La Grola and the pure Corvina bottling, La Poja. The estate is celebrated for its masterful execution of the traditional appassimento technique for Amarone della Valpolicella, alongside modern innovations like Palazzo della Torre and the approachable Corte Giara line. Today, Allegrini remains a benchmark of quality, combining deep respect for Veneto's terroir with a relentless pursuit of elegance, structure, and complexity.
