The Allegrini Farm is located in Fumane di Valpolicella. For generations, the Allegrini family has lived in this small but important locality of the Valpolicella Classica. Allegrino Allegrini succeeded in purchasing the right to exploit several "fountains" or "springs" in Mazzurega, a suburb of Fumane, to facilitate irrigation of his property in 1557. Between 1616 and 1630, the Allegrini family was one of the most notable land owners in Fumane, which ensured their pre-eminence in local society.

Giovanni Allegrini was extremely proud, like his predecessors, to belong to the land of Valpolicella and dedicated his life to it. Giovanni was among the first winegrowers to question local practices, revolutionising traditional methods and focusing on quality. He succeeded in adding oenological know-how to rigorousness in selecting grapes, thus creating a virtuous circle that produced some of the finest wines of the Valpolicella in the Sixties and Seventies.

After his early death in 1983, his three children inherited the company: Walter, responsible for conducting the winegrowing activity, Franco, an oenologist and Marilisa, responsible for marketing. Within a relatively short period of time, they brought the company to a position of leadership in international winegrowing.

Palazzo della Torre, which is terraced with "marogne", dry stone walls, a true jewel of rural Lessinia Mountain architecture, is one of the most beautiful estates in the Valpolicella Classica area.

Situated in the township of Fumane, it crowns the ancient Villa della Torre, from which it takes its name. The classical arbour type of planting is used, set up with a low plantation density of 3,000 stalks per hectare, with 20 buds per stalk. This form of winegrowing has the great advantage of permitting optimum aeration, which guarantees perfectly healthy grapes, which are earmarked for drying.
