Palazzo della Torre is a signature wine of the entire Allegrini range, where all of Franco’s extensive experience meets his creative flair. Celebrated by the world’s most important wine magazines, Palazzo della Torre is one of the wines that has made Allegrini famous internationally.
70% of the grapes are fermented in September (following a normal red wine fermentation with destemming), while the remaining 30% undergoes a gentle drying process. Those grapes are vinified in December and then the two resulting wines are wisely blended before the ageing that occurs for a minimum of 15 months in barriques. In January, the wine produced is blended with the pressed grapes of the withered grapes.
Ruby red in colour with purplish hues, it initially reveals sophisticated notes of vanilla, black pepper and cloves, echoed by gentle nuances of raisined grapes. On the palate it is velvety, with soft tannins and a long and persistent finish.
An intense wine with multilayered fruit, showing sour cherries, blackberries, plums, vibrant black pepper and nicely integrated vanilla. Chewy on the palate. Crisp, long acidity and firm, chalky tannins are well balanced with the fruit in the medium-bodied, savory finish. Drink or hold.

A whiff of this wine is like stumbling upon a hidden tobacco field, where the earthy, smoky scent of cured leaves intertwines with the aroma of ripe, roasted berries basking in the sun. The palate is a bold, balanced dance between rich, juicy fruit and savory undertones. Blackberries and cherries, define the core of the flavors found on the palate, as an earthy backbone keeps everything in check. Roasted or grilled dishes will shine with this partner.

Il est des vins qui racontent des histoires, et le «Palazzo della Torre» d'Allegrini en est la parfaite illustration. Élaboré selon la méthode traditionnelle vénitienne de la «double fermentation», ce vin est enrichi grâce à une sélection minutieuse de raisins partiellement séchés, offrant ainsi une complexité et une intensité étonnante. Le nez s'ouvre sur des arômes de cerise noire, de mûre sauvage et de raisins secs, subtilement relevés par des nuances d'épices douces, de cacao fin et une touche élégante de vanille. En bouche, l'attaque s'avère ample et harmonieuse, avec une belle structure tannique qui s'épanouit progressivement, libérant des saveurs expressives de fruits rouges mûrs, de prune confite et de figue fraîche. Des notes secondaires de tabac blond, de réglisse délicate et de sous-bois viennent compléter ce tableau organoleptique. Par son style distinctif et son caractère affirmé, ce vin offre une expérience gustative singulière. La finale, persistante et élégante, prolonge le plaisir.
Oxygéner en carafe 30 minutes et servir à 17 °C. Il s'harmonisera agréablement à l'osso buco, au filet de veau, au médaillon de porc sauce aux canneberges, aux pâtes aux sauce Carbonara, ou au carré d'agneau.
