The 2019 harvest began in mid-September and ended in mid-October, bringing us back to a more "classic" harvest calendar than

those of recent years. Overall, it was a vintage characterized by a mild winter. Only on a few nights in January did it fall below 0°C,

while days with peaks of 10°C were recorded in both early December and early January. The soils thus remained "workable" and were

therefore were aerated by surface replanting. Between late March and early April, temperatures settled above 10°C and

the new vine vegetative cycle began. The absence of significant rainfall during bud break considerably reduced the action

of the main pathogen: downy mildew. In May the scenario changed abruptly, with rainy phenomena and very low temperatures,

practically winter. This affected the cycle of all plants. The real difference was made by the summer, particularly in our vineyards in the

hills and high hills, where temperatures remained below 30/32°C. The resulting wines are of exceptional finesse and elegance.

One of the great classics of the Allegrini house, a wine that manages to elegantly combine the fullness of the sip with its immediacy. On the nose are

pose clear notes of berries, herbs, spices and vanilla, which reverberate in a palate where the texture is based on tannins

sweet and smooth, accompanying the sip to a long and fascinating finish.

Deep ruby red in color, it is easily paired with numerous Italian dishes including risottos, excellent ones with saffron

porcini mushrooms and beaten pork; classic pastas, such as Amatriciana and Carbonara, lasagna pie and gnocchi with gorgonzola and walnuts;

grilled meats and roasts. Perfect when the board of Parma hams and culatello di Zibello is on the table, it expresses all its pleasantness in

company of medium-aged cheeses, specifically with Parmigiano Reggiano, pecorino and Monte Veronese.

The pleasant hint of raisins is even more appreciated if the wine is served at 18°C in a wide glass.

Evolutionary potential more than 15 years.
