"This wine is elegant and well balanced, with a good structure and aroma. Ruby red in color with purple hues, it offers light hints of raisins, sophisticated notes of vanilla, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon. It has a long, velvety finish and soft tannins." —winemaker Blend: Corvina Veronese 40%, Corvinone 30%, Rondinella 25%, Sangiovese 5% Allegrini is the most acclaimed winery in the Veneto, a global ambassador for the region and is internationally considered the “voice of Amarone.” The Allegrini legacy is built on six generations of winegrowing expertise, centuries-old connection to the land, and on a culture of distinction in vine growing and winemaking in Valpolicella passed down for gene rations. Today, Allegrini wines are recognized around the world as an enduring beacon of Italian winemaking mastery. Palazzo della Torre is a blend of the traditional Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella varieties with a small addition of Sangiovese. At harvest, a small percentage of Corvinone is left to dry on racks until December, a process called Appassimento, then pressed and added to the previously vinified wine for a second fermentation. Palazzo della Torre is a velvety, well-balanced red blend, offering mature, concentrate d notes of dark fruit layered with hints of spice on the rich, full-bodied palate. Sophisticated and elegantly structured with soft tannins, Palazzo della Torre’s spicy vanilla, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon characteristics are contrasted with notes of black cherry, plum and dried fruit. |

"A juicy and flavorful red with dried berries, chocolate and hints of walnuts and herbs, following through to a rich finish. Medium body." —James Suckling "Notes of black cherry preserves, delicate spice and fig cake are rich and fragrant in this elegant, medium-bodied red, which is lightly juicy, with creamy tannins that firm the herb- and smoke-laced finish. Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Sangiovese." —Wine Spectator |
