The result of the Allegrini family’s expertise, a true classic of the appellation, this red wine embraces tradition, territory and the know-how of country ways. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta are left to air dry at least until December and are checked daily to ensure perfectly healthy grapes. Lengthy refining and ageing finally yields a red wine that has become emblematic of Italian oenology, alongside Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino. It has imposing structure and depth, as much in its aromas of mature fruit and spices, as on the palate, where the alcohol is sustained by the right degree of acidity and refined tannins.
Ruby red in colour, with purplish-blue highlights; the nose exhibits fragrant fruit with prominent notes of cherries, echoed by fresher hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, typical of Corvina and Corvinone, the historic varietals of this appellation. Whilst young it is impressively lively and playful on the palate while it expresses greater delicacy and finesse some two years later.
Deep ruby red in colour, Agricola Punica Montessu IGT has aromas of intense fruit and a linguering liquorish finish. The palate has an elegant wine with a full mouth.
50% botrytis, and a BA-flavor enters the picture, which you’ll love if that’s the taste you love! The high notes of fruit really lift this out of the generically “rich,” and makes the wine animated and vinous, though it’s still baroque.
