Marilisa Allegrini : Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2022

The finesse and balance of a Valpolicella Classico Superiore

The estate

Founded in 2008 following the acquisition of Villa Della Torre by Marilisa Allegrini, this estate spans more than 100 hectares in Veneto, within the Valpolicella Classico appellation in Fumane. Nicknamed "Lady Amarone" and president of the group that bears her name, Marilisa Allegrini now runs the House alongside her daughters Carlotta and Caterina, after gaining independence from the original family branch. The vineyard, mainly planted with Corvinone, Corvina and Rondinella, rests on silty-clay limestone soils and benefits from a particularly favourable east/south-east orientation. This Veneto estate eloquently embodies Marilisa Allegrini's ambition to step out of the shadow of the sole historic family estate.

The vineyard

This Valpolicella Classico Superiore comes from the Villa Della Torre vineyard, located in the classic sector of Fumane di Valpolicella. Set at an altitude of 124 metres, it enjoys a highly favourable east/south-east exposure. The silty-clay soils with a limestone component provide an outstanding terroir for the flourishing of the appellation's traditional grape varieties. The vines, averaging around ten years old, are trained using the Guyot method with a density of 4,545 vines per hectare.
