Allegrini Palazzo della Torre I.G.T Rosso Veronese 2021, 0,75 l

Palazzo della Torre is truly an iconic wine from Allegrini. The vines for this wine are planted around the historic Villa della Torre, which lends its name to the wine. Receiving an impressive 95 points from James Suckling, it's a rare find in this price range.

This magnificent wine is predominantly crafted from the Corvina and Rondinella grape varieties that are common in the Veneto region. A portion of the grapes is dried after harvest and blended with the rest of the wine in January, creating an unforgettable flavour profile with a vast aroma spectrum and a hint of Amarone.

In the glass, Palazzo della Torre immediately reveals aromas of sultanas, prunes, and dried fruit, complemented by notes of vanilla, black tea, and gingerbread spice. The 2021 vintage is cooler and more elegant than its predecessor, showcasing an impressive array of flavours.

The wine is never coarse or brittle but round and smooth, with a subtle elegance. Its vital acidity makes Palazzo della Torre impressively fresh and lively on the palate, with dark red berry flavours carrying through to a long finish.

This versatile wine can accompany an entire meal or be enjoyed in front of the fire with friends.
