Online Fine Wine Tasting - Allegrini with Giampietro Tinazzo

For a rather special evening we welcome Giampietro Tinazzo from Northern Italy's award-winning Allegrini Estate. Allegrini is a leading producer in the Valpolicella Classica area and one of the most highly-regarded and award-winning Italian wineries in the world. Owned by the Allegrini family, which has had roots in the Valpolicella since the sixteenth century, the Company has over 100 hectares of hillside vineyards in the Classico zone. The tasting will include a tasty overview of the Allegrini range, including the famous La Poja and Amarone della Valpolicella, and wrapped up with the sweet Recioto.

The Allegrini family estate covers 120 hectares of vineyard in the heart of Valpolicella Classico. Although they have been growing grapes here for several centuries, Giovanni Allegrini was the first to start bottling wines from the family’s vineyards. When he died in 1983, he passed a passion for and a commitment to quality wine onto his three children - Walter, Marilisa and Franco. They worked together to build on Giovanni’s quality ethos until Walter’s death in 2003. Franco now looks after the vineyards and the winemaking, while Marilisa takes charge of sales and marketing.
