✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic hills of Valpolicella, Allegrini's Grappa di Amarone represents the noble transformation of a rustic Italian tradition into a spirit of sublime elegance. Grappa was historically born from the thrifty spirit of Italian farmers who refused to let any part of the harvest go to waste. Today, Allegrini crafts this exquisite distillate from the precious pomace of Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta grapes left behind after the production of their legendary Amarone della Valpolicella. Because these grapes undergo the painstaking 'appassimento' air-drying process for several months, their skins are incredibly concentrated with sugars, aromatic compounds, and essential oils. Following careful distillation in copper alembics, the spirit is aged in oak casks, which tempers its fiery youth and imparts a rich amber hue alongside warm notes of dried cherries, dark chocolate, vanilla, and toasted wood.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Allegrini har haft dybe rødder i Valpolicella Classica siden det 16. århundrede og regnes i dag blandt Italiens mest anerkendte og innovative vinhuse. Ejendommen blev for alvor forvandlet til et globalt ikon i midten af det 20. århundrede under Giovanni Allegrinis visionære ledelse. Det familiedrevne vinhus har hjemme i Fumane i Veneto og forener på fornemste vis stolte traditioner med banebrydende tiltag i både mark og kælder – herunder en modernisering af den klassiske appassimento-metode. Allegrini er verdensberømt for sin stilskabende Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, sine prestigefyldte enkeltmarksvine som La Grola, mesterværket La Poja på ren Corvina samt den populære Palazzo della Torre. Med udvidelser i Veneto gennem projekter som Corte Giara og produktion af håndværksgrappa står huset fortsat som et urokkeligt pejlemærke for italiensk elegance og tårnhøj kvalitet.
