Giovanni Allegrini, the man who symbolises Valpolicella, was a great lover of Recioto. His offspring have dedicated this wine to their father since 1990. An extraordinary innovator, Giovanni used Recioto to measure the skill of the winemakers of the time. Recioto is one of the oldest wines in the world, dating back to Roman times. It is a sweet wine and unique in its kind, able to promote contemplation and accompany life’s most joyful occasions. Today it is widely recognized as the noble ‘forefather’ of Amarone.
