Giovanni Allegrini |

The Allegrini Farm in its present-day form may rightfully be considered the result of the intelligence and industriousness of Giovanni Allegrini, a simple and spontaneous man who knew how to love the land of his ancestors and make it bear fruit. He gave life to a solid, efficient and innovative agricultural enterprise.
A descendant of a family that has always been tied to agriculture and farming traditions, he began his career at the age of twelve, when his father initiated him to the production of wine. Over the years, he perfected this art, uniting professional ability and a great and consuming passion.
During his life, which was strictly tied to the life of the company, he did everything he could to achieve and produce the best wines. He introduced his wines in Italy and abroad, which became known for the high standard of quality in their production, making the Allegrini company a point of reference for division businesses and consumers of every extraction and culture, who loved to spend some time with him.
His last project, which he unfortunately did not have the time to see completely finished, was the replanting of a vineyard of the most qualified and prestigious holding of the Historical Valpolicella, the splendid Grola, a hillside about 350 m a.s.l., which had been abandoned at the beginning of the century; he brought it back to productive live, according to the most advanced techniques, and made it suitable for the use of new machinery.
He was called by the suggestive appellative of "the Spiderman of casks"; in fact, he used to jump like a spider from one gigantic and precious cask to another in his wine cellar, proudly having people taste the wines and asking them for critique and tasting impressions.
The lifestyle, history and culture of Giovanni are still today the keys to understand the philosophy and perhaps the reasons behind the success of the Allegrini Company.
