Palazzo della Torre 2020 Igt Veronese - Allegrini

Palazzo della Torre IGT is a still red wine characteristic of the Veneto region, particularly the Valpolicella area, between the province of Verona and Lake Garda, and protected to the north by the Lessini mountains. The origins of wine production in this area date back to antiquity, having always been an area of vineyards, as can also be deduced from its name, which in Latin means "valley of many cellars." The cultivations are in mainly hilly areas with a temperate climate, which is very favorable for the growth of vines. The grapes from which it is produced are mostly the indigenous Corvina and Rondinella, and there is then a small percentage of Sangiovese. The soil is predominantly calcareous in composition, especially at a depth of one meter, this promotes a good acid content in the grapes.To obtain the final result characteristic of this particular red wine, the technique of refermentation is used.Two vinification processes are therefore necessary, one carried out at the first harvest and involving the drying of the grapes, and a second that takes place a month later and in which the grapes are immediately subjected to fermentation. Eventually the two products are blended for the second fermentation and placed in French oak barrels for 15 months, then they are bottled and aged for another 7 months. Thanks to this processing, Palazzo della Torre, like the historic Allegrini production, preserves and enhances its typical organoleptic characteristics of wines with hints of red fruits obtained with the addition of dried grapes.Ruby red with violet hues.Hints of raisins, which are echoed by sophisticated notes of vanilla, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon.Velvety, the tannins are soft and the finish is long and persistent.
