90 Points Wine Advocate: The 2006 Palazzo della Torre comes
across as somewhat restrained for this wine. This is a very polished, elegant
Palazzo della Torre with pretty layers of mocha, spices and new leather that add
complexity to the fresh, vibrant fruit. Palazzo della Torre is 70% Corvina
Veronese, 25% Rondinella and 5% Sangiovese. The addition of 30% dried fruit
(Amarone style) adds an extra dimension of complexity. The retro 1970's label is
also quite attractive.
The quality of all the wines Allegrini produces from their 70 hectares of
vineyard - across the range and from vintage to vintage is impeccable. They
have fruit, balance, intensity, length, elegance, tipicity and, above all,
drinkability. In short, they are among the elite of the worlds best producers
of red wines.
The vineyards are in Fumane di Valpolicella and encompass 26.4 hectares of
east-facing vineyard, planted between 1962 and 1989. They are situatred 240
metres above sea level.
