✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled in the foothills of Fumane di Valpolicella, the Palazzo della Torre vineyard surrounds the historic Renaissance villa of the same name, a place steeped in Venetian history. Crafted by the pioneering Allegrini family, this wine is a masterclass in innovative Veronese winemaking. It is produced using a unique double-fermentation technique: the majority of the Corvina, Rondinella, and Sangiovese grapes are vinified fresh at harvest, while a portion is set aside to undergo 'appassimento'—drying naturally for several months. In December, the fresh wine is refermented with these semi-dried grapes, marrying the vibrant, cherry-driven acidity of Valpolicella with the rich, velvety depth, raisiny complexity, and structure typically reserved for Amarone.
🍾 About the Producer
Rooted in the Valpolicella Classica region since the sixteenth century, Allegrini stands as one of Italy's most revered and innovative winemaking estates, having been transformed into a global icon under the visionary leadership of Giovanni Allegrini in the mid-twentieth century. Based in Fumane within the Veneto region, the family-run estate harmoniously marries time-honored traditions with pioneering cellar and viticultural techniques, such as modernizing the traditional appassimento process. Allegrini is celebrated worldwide for its benchmark Amarone della Valpolicella Classico as well as prestigious single-vineyard crus like La Grola and the pure Corvina masterwork La Poja, alongside the acclaimed Palazzo della Torre. Expanding across Veneto with projects such as Corte Giara and artisanal grappas, the producer remains an enduring standard-bearer of Italian elegance and quality.
