Allegrini Wines

What Allegrini Wines does

Allegrini Wines is a family-owned Italian wine company headquartered in Fumane, in the province of Verona. The current corporate entity was established in 2024 as the seventh-generation parent company unifying the historic Allegrini winery (operating in Valpolicella since 1854), Allegrini Wine Distribution (the in-house distribution arm), and the forthcoming Tenuta Merigo production center. Core production is anchored in Valpolicella Classica hillside viticulture and the traditional appassimento drying process for Amarone, with a portfolio spanning Amarone della Valpolicella, Valpolicella, Ripasso, Lugana, Soave, Grola, La Poja, Palazzo della Torre, and Fieramonte, alongside the accessible Corte Giara line launched in 1989.

The business model combines own-label premium wine production, third-party wine distribution in Italy (including Champagne Boizel, David Moret, Domaine Henri Rebourseau, Jacques Picard, Agricola Lanciani, Willunga 100, and others), and planned enotourism revenues via Tenuta Merigo. Go-to-market is selective and channel-led: direct relationships with HORECA (hotels, restaurants, wine bars, gourmet restaurants), international exports coordinated by Matteo Allegrini, event-driven activations (Vinitaly debut in 2024, Italian Open Golf Official Wine Supplier 2024-2025), and forthcoming direct-to-consumer sales through the Tenuta Merigo reception center. Pricing is premium-positioned and not publicly disclosed, with no subscription or recurring software-style pricing model; transactions are one-time wholesale or retail.

Production is supported by sustainability protocols (Biodiversity Friend 93/100 in 2023 versus 76/100 in 2017, Equalitas certification since 2019, 15 active beehives, the ARNIA supply chain protocol) and lightweight packaging initiatives (glass reduced from 600g to 410-420g, FSC-certified labels). The company employs approximately 62 staff and is entirely family-controlled, with no external investors, public listing, or disclosed revenue figures.
