Allegrini is in Fumane, in Valpolicella. Giovanni Allegrini bought the La Grola hill in 1979, after it had lain abandoned for a long time, and planted it. He was also the first in Valpolicella to introduce Guyot training. His son Franco took over from him in 1983.
The estate grows Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta at Fieramonte. La Poja is a 3-hectare vineyard planted in 1979, and it's the estate's most exclusive cru. Palazzo della Torre was the precursor of the double fermentation method.
Decanter gave 100 points to both the 2015 and the 2016 vintages of the Amarone Classico Riserva Fieramonte. Since 1990 the family has dedicated its Recioto to Giovanni, and his children are the ones who make that gesture.

I haven't reviewed a wine from Allegrini yet. They're on my Top 100 list, which is built from awards.
