Palazzo della Torre is a signature wine of the entire Allegrini range, where all of Franco’s extensive experience meets his creative flair. Celebrated by the world’s most important wine magazines, Palazzo della Torre is one of the wines that has made Allegrini famous internationally.
Sensory features: An elegant, harmonious wine with considerable structure and aromaticity. Ruby red in colour with purplish hues, it initially reveals sophisticated notes of vanilla, black pepper and cloves, echoed by gentle nuances of raisined grapes. On the palate it is velvety, with soft tannins and a long and persistent finish.
Technical notes
Grape varieties: Corvina Veronese 40%, Corvinone 30%, Rondinella 25% & Sangiovese 5%
Harvest: Performed by hand it takes place in two stages: the first involves the collection of the berries destined for drying, the second of those immediately destined for vinification
Winemaking: 70% of the grapes are fermented in September (following a normal red wine fermentation with destemming), while the remaining 30% undergoes a gentle drying process. Those grapes are vinified in December and then the two resulting wines are wisely blended before the ageing that occurs for a minimum of 15 months in barriques.
Best served: Risottos, excellent ones with saffron, porcini mushrooms and beaten pork; classic pastas, such as Amatriciana and Carbonara, lasagna pie and gnocchi with gorgonzola and walnuts; grilled meats and roasts.
