Cortegiara by Allegrini 2007 Amarone
UK£27.99- Grape Blend: Corvina, Rondinella
- Origin: Italy, Veneto
- Producer: Cortegiara by Allegrini
- Style: Powerful Reds
- Tasting Note: This wine is made by Amarone experts Allegrini, but from purchased grapes rather than their own vineyards. Similar to Allegrini, this is toned-down version with not quite so much richness but a very good value, and still typical Amarone.

- Origin: Italy, Veneto
- Producer: Tommaso Bussola

Allegrini 2005 Amarone Classico
UK£47.99- Grape Blend: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara
