Plums, spice, tar, and coffee on the nose. Fruity with softening tannins. The wine is medium-bodied with prune flavors on the aftertaste.
The 2011 Allegrini Valpolicella has dense notes of black cherry, blackberry and pomegranate. It is a medium to full bodied, off-dry, fruity wine; has forward acidity, refined tannins and a medium finish. It is food friendly; drink now and for the next 5 years. My impression: NICE, 88 pts – good value. Tasted April/13 at WineAlign Cru tasting.
