Allegrini,
Ready, but will keep,
In my view a perfect ‘house quaffer’ for those midweek pizza & pasta suppers. A blend of Valpolicella varieties along with 30% of the fruit air dried and added to rest of the juice to add more body and weight.
The “Palazzo della Torre” is the historic combination of Corvina and Rondinella with the addition of a small quantity of Sangiovese. A small percentage of the harvested grapes are left to dry out until December, then added to the previously vinified fresh grapes to produce one of the most quaffable Italian wines I have had in a long time. The nose is ripe and juicy, full of cherry fruit with a hint of dried berry / espresso bean edge. The palate is fluid, medium bodied with a juicy, mouthwatering finish. Delicious. 2016 – 2018.

The Allegrini family has been making wine in Valpolicella for several generations, though it was Giovanni Allegrini who really put this estate on the map through his innovative methods both in the vineyards and in the cantina. Today it is run by Giovanni`s children: Franco, who manages the vines, and Marilisa for the marketing of the wines. There are 45 hectares of vines which are situated in the townships of Fumane, Sant`Ambrogio and Marano. Allegrini produces an outstanding range of wines that includes Valpolicella Classicos, single vineyard Valpolicellas, Amarones and Reciotos. They are all made in a modern, intensely fruit-driven style, and the Amarone, in particular, is outstanding.
