James Suckling
Reviewed April 2019For a decadent but sleek wine, the ripeness level is spot-on here. It opens with glazed cherries, dried berries, vanilla, eucalyptus, caramel and wet earth, before following through to a dusty palate with tons of dried fruit, supported by fine acidity and a sweet-and-sour character. Drink from 2023.

Wine & Spirits
Despite the warm, dry growing season of 2015, this shows fresh scents of lavender and wild thyme that lift the wine’s densely concentrated flavors of black plum and baked raspberry. Layers of dark chocolate, black olive and espresso add dimension, while a note of peppery spice lingers on the finish.

Wine Spectator
A creamy and harmonious red, medium- to full-bodied, featuring light, dusty tannins that frame the flavors of baked black cherry, date, grilled thyme and loamy earth. Fresh and elegant, with a spiced finish. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Oseleta. (AN)

Wine Advocate
Allegrini's 2015 Valpolicella is a fresh and plump red wine with easy appeal. Corvina Veronese makes up most of the blend at 65% and the rest of the wine is Rondinella (30%) and Molinara (5%). The bouquet is raw and fruity in character with bright primary flavors of white plum, cherry and forest berry. There are subtle hints of herb and cola as well. The finish is simple and slightly sour. Pair this fruity Valpolicella with take out pizza. (ML)
