Description
The Palazzo della Torre from Allegrini is a stunning example of their expertise, often referred to as a "baby Amarone" due to its richness and intensity. On the nose, you’ll be greeted with layers of ripe berries, aromatic herbs, and subtle hints of vanilla and spice. The palate is lush and textured, with sweet, polished tannins that give the wine a long, lingering finish. Compared to an Amarone, it’s more approachable in its youth, with a fresher profile, while still offering a depth and concentration that is reminiscent of a Ripasso, thanks to Allegrini's unique twist on the ripasso method. It's a wine that beautifully balances richness and elegance, perfect for those looking to explore Valpolicella's finer offerings.
The Allegrini family has been instrumental in elevating the reputation of Italian wine, particularly in Valpolicella. Giovanni Allegrini laid the foundation, but it was his children—Walter, Marilisa, and Franco—who truly put the estate on the map. Franco’s innovative techniques and relentless commitment to quality have made Allegrini one of Italy’s most respected producers. Their ability to blend tradition with modern winemaking, along with their dedication to sustainability and minimal intervention, has solidified their place as leaders in the industry. Their wines, like Palazzo della Torre, are not just bottles of wine, but symbols of Italian excellence and heritage.
