It is known for its high-quality Amarone wines, which are made using a unique process of drying grapes before fermentation. Allegrini's Amarone wines are highly regarded for their full-bodied and intense flavour profiles, which often feature notes of dark fruit, chocolate, coffee, and spices. In addition to Amarone, Allegrini also produces a range of other red, white, and rosé wines using traditional Italian winemaking techniques.

Bodega Colome

Bodega Colome is one of the oldest wineries in Argentina, founded in 1831. The brand is known to own the highest vineyard in the world called the “La Vizcachera” situated at an altitude of around 3,111 metres. Due to the high altitude, the grapes grown in the La Vizcachera vineyard are exposed to intense sunlight, which results in a slower ripening process and a more concentrated flavour in the grapes. This, in turn, produces wines that are unique in character and highly sought after by wine enthusiasts. Bodega Colome produces a range of wines, including Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tannat, Torrontes, and Chardonnay.

El Coto

El Coto, a well-known winery located in the Rioja region of Spain is best known for its red wines, which are made primarily from the Tempranillo grape. The wines tend to be medium- to full-bodied with flavours of dark fruit, such as black cherry and blackberry, as well as notes of vanilla, spice, and oak. Rioja wines are often aged in oak barrels, which can impart additional flavours and complexity to the wines. The winery owned by the brand is one of the largest in the Rioja region, with over 700 hectares of vineyards and a production capacity of over 10 million bottles per year.

Montes
