History

The Allegrini family is an important family in the world of wine in the Valpolicella area; documents attest to the presence of the latter in the area as early as the sixteenth century. One of the leading figures in the family was Giovanni Allegrini, who began working in the company at a very young age and greatly perfected the art of winemaking. Today the company is skilfully led by their children Franco Allegrini and Marilisa Allegrini and their respective children, who follow the path already traced by Giovanni.

Alcohol content

13.5%

Tasting notes

Intense ruby ​​red color with some more garnet reflections. On the nose notes of ripe cherries and violets combined with spicy notes of vanilla, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon. In the mouth it has good softness and alcohol, warm and ripe sensations balanced by a greater final freshness and full tannins. Rather long and intense finish. Palazzo della Torre is perfect for pairing with full-bodied and tasty red meat or game dishes, without however having the opulence and complexity of an Amarone. However, if left to rest for a few years in the cellar, it softens further and acquires notes of complexity and finesse, turning into a beautiful meditation wine.

Possible combinations

This wine fits perfectly with various dishes of Italian cuisine and can be enjoyed throughout the meal. It goes particularly well with risottos, especially those seasoned with saffron, porcini mushrooms or chopped pork, which prove to be excellent combinations.
