Marilisa Allegrini is your co-host for the week and is her family's ambassador at large. She regularly presents the wines of her native Valpolicella, and introduces audiences to the terroir from which they spring at stellar events throughout the United States and Europe. You may already be one of the many happy wine drinkers that have been enjoying the richness, the deep layers of flavor of Amarone.
If not, you will have the opportunity at Villa Giona to make up for lost time. Allegrini is one of the paramount producers of this precious wine as well as several other extraordinary wines which regularly receive top ratings in The Wine Advocate and The Wine Spectator. Allegrini's Amarone, La Poja, and Recioto Giovanni Allegrini have all been recipients of Italy's prestigious "Tre Bicchieri" award. You will be the beneficiary of a behind the scenes winery tour -- not available to the general public -- guided by Marilisa Allegrini.
