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.

Winemaker Notes
Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre is an elegant and well balanced Italian red wine with good structure and aroma. Ruby red in color with purple hues, this Italian red blend offers light hints of raisins and sophisticated notes of vanilla, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon. Featuring a long, velvety finish and soft wine tannins, this full bodied Italian wine is great on its own or paired with any meal. From Veronese IGT, Allegrini's red wine blend is the historic combination of rondinella and corvina wine grapes with the addition of a small quantity of sangiovese. This full bodied red wine can be enjoyed now, or it can be aged for up to 10 years. Palazzo della Torre easily pairs with various Italian dishes, above all risottos, especially those flavored with saffron, porcini mushrooms and pork; classic dishes such as pasta with Amatriciana and Carbonara sauces, baked lasagna, gnocchi with gorgonzola cheese and walnuts; grilled meats and roasts. It also excels when matched with Parma ham and fine-cured Zibello pork loin, as well as medium-matured cheeses, especially Parmigiano Reggiano (Parmesan), pecorino and Monte Veronese.
