Allegrini `Palazzo della Torre` Veronese IGT, Veneto, Italy, is a dry still red wine crafted from Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes. It is made using a modern 'ripasso' technique, involving the drying of a portion of grapes to intensify character, followed by ageing in second-use oak barriques. This expressive wine presents fragrant notes of red berries, aromatic herbs, spices, and vanilla. The palate is plush, textural, and vibrant, with polished tannins that lead to a lengthy finish. It pairs wonderfully with beef, lamb, and mature cheeses, and is also vegan and vegetarian friendly.
75.0CL , 13.5% ABV
Vinification
Allegrini uses the modern version of the traditional 'ripasso' technique for Palazzo della Torre. This involves drying a portion of the grapes in their 'Terre di Fumane' drying centre to intensify the character of the vineyard. The remaining grapes were destemmed and pressed immediately after harvest, with the dried grapes undergoing the same process later in the year. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The wine was aged in second-use oak barriques before being blended for two months. It was bottle-aged for seven months before release.
Flavour profile
This red wine offers an intense and expressive profile, showcasing fragrant notes of red berries, aromatic herbs, and spices, complemented by a hint of vanilla. The palate is plush and textural, with vibrant fruit and polished tannins leading to a lengthy finish.
Serving recommendation
Serve at 16-18°C. Decant for 30 minutes to enhance its expressive character.
