The 2019 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is youthfully understated, requiring coaxing to reveal its depths of dried black cherries, mocha and cloves, all lifted by a hint of fresh mint. This impresses with its blend of sweet spices, opulent ripe wild berry fruits and silken textures, all balanced by brisk acidity and a pleasantly bitter tinge of dark chocolate toward the close. This finishes classically dry with dramatic length and potency, leaving a coating of fine-grained tannins that saturates, promising many years of positive evolution. Allegrini knocked this one out of the park. Wow. (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2024)

First wine in Venice from this region. Excellent with oaky finish.

My bottle did not say Corvina blend, just Allegrini Valpolicella DOC 2019. I Didn’t love it at first but the next day it was better – – maybe it needed to air out?, or maybe I was prepared for it. Different from Gamay—not fresh but earthy. Lingers in my mouth.
