Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
Allegrini’s 2003 Amarone Classico (80% Corvina,
15% Rondinella, 5% Oseleta) reveals a super-opulent, engaging texture
packed with sweet cocoa, dark fruit, cassis, blackberries, roasted
coffee beans and licorice. It finishes with notable length and surprising
finish for the vintage. According to Allegrini the rain that fell
in July was critical in maintaining some balance in the wine. This
medium to full-bodied wine is an outstanding example of a more restrained,
clean style of Amarone.
