Allegrini Soave Oasi San Giacomo DOC 2024

Winery Background and History

Allegrini, a renowned estate from Valpolicella in the Veneto region, traces its roots to the 16th century and has evolved into a global benchmark for quality. The Oasi San Giacomo Soave reflects the estate’s expansion into white wine terroirs, showcasing their innovative spirit while maintaining deep respect for regional tradition. 

Producer and Wine Maker

Today led by Franco Allegrini and his children, the family’s winemaking philosophy blends precision viticulture with modern techniques. Oasi San Giacomo is vinified to highlight freshness and purity—with careful handling and climate monitoring ensuring each vintage embodies structured elegance. 

Vineyards and Micro Climate

The vines grow on south-west facing hills between Lavagno and Mezzane di Sotto (Verona province), at 150–250 m altitude, in chalky volcanic soils. These hillside sites, part of a biodiversity reserve, benefit from excellent drainage, cool night-time breezes, and a balanced microclimate. 

Vinification & Aging Methods

Grapes are hand-harvested in late September to early October. Vinification includes an 18-hour cryo-maceration at 10 °C, followed by fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel at 15 °C for 8–10 days. The wine ages on fine lees for 4 months before bottling and rests for another 2 months before release. 

Tasting Notes

The wine pours bright straw-yellow with green tinges. Aromatics offer white flowers, citrus zest, and grapefruit. On the palate, it is lively and fresh, with pronounced salinity, minerality, and lingering volcanic freshness—both elegant and youthful. 

Food & Wine Pairing

Excellent with Mediterranean fare such as saffron risotto, seafood spaghetti, grilled fish, chicken salad with fennel and oranges, and lighter poultry dishes. 

Service Methods and Temperatures

Serve well-chilled at 10–12 °C in a medium-stemmed white wine glass to highlight its aromatic clarity and refreshing acidity. 

Storage and Aging Potential

Enjoy now through 2028, during which the wine should maintain its aromatic vivacity and refined texture.
