VENETO

LOCATION:
Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella (Verona)

STYLE OF EXPERIENCE:
RARE WINES – AMARONE

DURATION:
Duration on-site (hours. ±1): 6

The enchanting Serego Alighieri Possessions were purchased in 1353 by Pietro Alighieri, son of the great poet Dante (yes, the one in Dan Brown “Inferno” novel…), and had already been known since then for the excellence of their vineyards.

You will be welcomed and you will enjoy your private guided tour of the  Cellars with a member of the Family that will have the pleasure of taking guests on a pleasant walk in the historic estate of Dante Alighieri’s descendants.

A dive into history that includes a visit to the “fruit” cellar and to the historic cellar full of fragrant cherry barrels according to the family tradition.

For each group of guests the book “Mr. Amarone “with a special autograph dedication and a wooden box containing 6 really special bottles:

  • 1 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
  • 1 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico by Serego Alighieri
  • 1 Riserva Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
  • 1 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico from the family private collection
  • 1 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico from the family private collection
  • 1 amazing “Super-Italian”

The “Supervenetian” from a 250 years old winery.

This is an ancient wine, because it is a gentleman, and therefore cultured, poised and sophisticated, but it spans time and ethnicities to remain as contemporary as every classic.
Just like entire estate is a classic, which is after all a winery whose history has become both a paradigm both in the Veneto and in Italy… and whose relationship with Valpolicella seems to be the very epitome of the phrase genius loci”
(Leila Salimbeni, “Spirito DiVino” 2017).

Wine Spectator Top 100 judgement: n.8, 95 pts.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Serègo Alighieri

An elegant, impeccably balanced red, layering sculpted tannins with finely knit flavors of plumped black cherry, plum sauce, cured tobacco, dark chocolate and woodsy spice.

A rich vein of smoky minerality sings on the lasting finish.

Drink now through 2035. 3,750 cases made.
