Allegrini 1993 Recioto Superiore Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $40
A wine style for mature adults. Enjoying an Amarone requires patience and understanding-you must let this wine open, preferably in a decanter. At the table, there is nothing better suited to game, mushrooms or strong cheeses. This might even be a value at $80.

Allegrini 1998 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- $65
Black as coal and a true powerhouse. The nose dishes out tons of bacon, chocolate, caramel and prune-like fruit. Then comes the regal but complex palate that is much like the liquid version of fruitcake: there’s liqueur, raisins and dark chocolate in abundance. A rich, smooth mouthfeel solidifies it as a dynamite wine. Cellar Selection.

Allegrini 2004 La Poja Corvina (Veronese)
- $90
This is a gorgeous wine with loads of intensity and personality derived from the native Corvina grape of Valpolicella, Italy. It’s amazingly rich and smooth with long-lasting flavors of maraschino cherry, Indian spice and cola.

Allegrini 2006 La Poja Corvina (Veronese)
- $85
Here’s a modern rendition of Corvina (one of the grapes that makes up Italy’s Amarone) that opens with a blast of blackberry fruit, exotic spice, leather, tar and moist pipe tobacco. It’s soft and chewy with long, impressive persistency.

Allegrini 2003 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $75
This is a highly intense and thickly extracted wine from one of the area’s most storied producers that boast blockbuster notes of black cherry, chewy fruit comfiture, milk chocolate and vanilla-oak. At the back are interesting bacon highlights.

Allegrini 2005 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)

Aged 18 months in oak, this plump, generous Amarone opens with a mixed bouquet of red fruit, blackberry, cinnamon, molasses and toasted almond. It tastes smooth and ripe with a sophisticated, but slight sweet mouthfeel.

Allegrini 2007 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $75
There’s a touch of apple skin or citrus freshness here that gives this wine a bright, polished feel overall. In the mouth, however, this hearty Amarone delivers excellent structure, staying power and long-lasting red fruit flavors.
