Allegrini Valpolicella / 750 ml

The entry-level 2022 Valpolicella (made with 70% Corvina Veronese and 30% Rondinella) shows pretty ruby luminosity and medium-light consistency. The bouquet is punchy and bright with sour cherry, red berry, crushed white pepper and dusty licorice root. The wine drinks easily with fresh acidity and a pretty array of fresh fruit flavors. I can't think of a better pairing for take-out pizza. 88 Points Wine Advocate
