Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2021 is a hallmark red wine from the prestigious Allegrini estate in Valpolicella, Veneto, where winemaking tradition and innovation converge. Crafted primarily from Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes, this wine employs a unique ripasso-style technique. A portion of the harvest is dried using the traditional appassimento method, then reintroduced during fermentation to enhance depth, complexity, and body. The result is a wine that marries freshness with richness, embodying the distinct character of Valpolicella’s terroir.
The 2021 vintage reflects an excellent growing season in Veneto, yielding grapes with concentrated fruit, balanced acidity, and expressive aromatics. Maturation in oak barrels refines the wine further, imparting additional structure and subtle spice while maintaining harmony with the vibrant fruit core. This approach has made Palazzo della Torre a benchmark in the region, celebrated for both its craftsmanship and its ability to showcase Veneto’s historic winemaking traditions in a modern style.

Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2021 is a rich and elegant Veronese red that combines Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes with a touch of Sangiovese.

It opens with aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, layered with notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and warm spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet silky, delivering juicy red and black fruits intertwined with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. Fine tannins and balanced acidity carry into a long, velvety finish marked by spice and dried fruit complexity.
