Allegrini

Giovanni died in 1983. His three children, Walter, Marilisa and Franco, kept faith with the local Corvina grape at a time when many people were chasing international varieties. Franco also built the Terre di Fumane, a drying centre for grapes that changed how the whole region makes its dried-grape wines.

In 2023 a new generation took over: Franco's sons Francesco, Giovanni and Matteo, with their cousin Silvia. The range runs from a bright, cherry-fruited Valpolicella under screwcap to Amarone and a Recioto full of cherry fruit, plus a floral Lugana white made from Turbiana.
