Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2008 Fumane
Producer: Allegrini
Tasting Notes:
Deep, ruby red in colour, with intense perfumes of cherry-chocolate on the nose. On the palate the wine has good depth and power, with a hint of dried cherries from the ‘ripasso’ vinification. Smooth and full bodied, with a rounder style, lower acidity and fuller structure than a Valpolicella Classico.
Grape Variety: 70% Corvina Veronese 25% Rondinella & 5% Sangiovese
ABV: 15%
Country/Region: Italy
Vintage: 2008
The Allegrini family estate comprises 90 hectares of vineyard
situated in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico area. The family
has been growing grapes in Valpolicella for several generations,
and the estate in its current form was founded by Giovanni
Allegrini. When he died in 1983, it passed to his three children, who
ran it together until Walter’s death in July 2003. Franco now looks
after the vineyards and is the winemaker, while Marilisa is director
of marketing. From the 2007 vintage, Franco sacrificed the Classico
status of the Valpolicella and bottled the wine under Stelvin in
order to eliminate as much as possible the problems of cork taint
and random oxidation.
