Allegrini was founded in Fumane, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, a region steeped in ancient and noble traditions. Historical records trace the Allegrini family back to the 16th century, and over generations, the family has been dedicated to winemaking, playing a pivotal role in the development and promotion of Valpolicella, preserving and enhancing the culture and identity of the region. The company underwent a significant transformation starting in the 1960s under Giovanni Allegrini, who is widely recognized as one of the key figures behind the revival of Valpolicella. Giovanni revolutionized the art of winemaking by rigorously selecting grapes and introducing innovative techniques in viticulture and production, setting new standards for quality. This legacy was then passed on to his children—Walter, Marilisa, and Franco—who have continued to build upon their father's visionary work. They have passionately expanded the brand's reputation, making the names Allegrini and Valpolicella synonymous with excellence on a global scale. Francesco, Matteo, and Giovanni Allegrini acquired a majority stake in the family company, securing 86% ownership, while the remaining 14% is held by their cousin Silvia. This acquisition solidified their position as leaders in Amarone production in Valpolicella and further established Allegrini as one of the most renowned Italian wineries worldwide.
