Corte Giara started life in 1989 as the negociant label of famed Valpolicella producer Allegrini. Over several years Corte Giara purchased the vineyards they source from, and now all grapes are estate-grown. Throughout this evolution, the Allegrini family have made these wines with the same attention to detail that their Valpolicella estate is famed for. As a result, the Corte Giara wines have a reputation for quality that sets them apart from most of the Veronese wines produced at this level.

As you might expect from Allegrini, the Valpolicella Ripasso and Amarone offer outstanding typicity and quality. The Pinot Grigio is more classic than the Alpha Zeta example but similarly appealing.
