Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2009
Verona, Veneto, ItalyThis blend is a 70/25/5/ mix of corvina Veronese, rondinella and sangiovese. Post-harvest up to 30 percent of the grapes are dried until December. At this point the fresh wine fermented at harvest is blended into the fermenting juice of the dried grapes. The resulting fermentation adds complexity and depth to the blend. This is a delicious red wine, dark in colour with aromas and flavours of sweet cherries and black fruit, flecked with spice and bits of fig. The tannins are rich and youthful suggesting this will keep a decade or more in bottle. Drink it now with roasted meats, hefty risotto dishes, or your favourite cheese. Palazzo della Torre vineyard was 35 years old in 2009. It is some 66 acres in size and sits over clay and chalk soils. Well done.Tasted: 28 April 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
