Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
Enticing scents of chocolate, espresso, dark
fruit, licorice and new leather emerge from the boisterous
2007 Palazzo della Torre. The fruit is sumptuous as always,
but in 2007 Palazzo della Torre is not quite as approachable
upon release as it usually is. Another year or two in bottle
should help smooth some of the slightly rough edges that are
present today. There is enough balance and elegance in the
finish to suggest this will drink well for a number of years.
Palazzo della Torre is made from 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella
and 5% Sangiovese, all traditional Veneto grapes. Approximately
30% of the fruit is air-dried, Amarone-style. The fermenting
juice from those grapes is added to the rest of the juice
to give the wine an extra dimension of richness and body.
