Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
Allegrini’s Palazzo della Torre is often an
irresistibly stylish wine, as it is again in 2005. This opulent,
generous red is loaded with jammy dark cherries, chocolate, spices
and sweet toasted oak. Palazzo delle Torre is a blend of 70% Corvina
Veronese, 25% Rondinella and 5% Sangiovese. A portion of the fruit
for this wine (30%) is left to air-dry on racks (Amarone-style)
until December, when it is fermented and subsequently added to the
rest of the wine, which is fermented normally. The addition of the
wine from the dried fruit gives Palazzo della Torre an uncommon
level of richness, density and complexity.
Anticipated maturity: '08 - '11.
