The producer

Domaine Allegria

Allegria is a domain that is entirely respectful of the environment from the organic growing of the grapes to the building in wood of the vinification cellar. All harvesting is done manually and only a tiny bit of sulfites is used to protect the wines. The main grape is the Syrah variety but besides that, they also grow a small amount of Carignan ,Mourvedre, and Cinsault.
