It stands out for a winemaking technique that combines fresh grapes with a portion that has been slightly dried. The result is a harmonious glass, with a \u003cstrong\u003emoderate body and gentle tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that create a pleasant balance between depth and freshness. On the nose, it offers intense aromas of cherry, plum, raisin, vanilla and balsamic notes, making it an excellent companion at the table for flavourful first courses, \u003cstrong\u003egrilled meats\u003c\/strong\u003e and blue cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes ripen in the hillside vineyards of the Valpolicella Classica, located between Fumane, Sant’Ambrogio and San Pietro in Cariano. This area, situated between Verona and Lake Garda, benefits from the natural protection of the Lessini Mountains. The vineyards, positioned at 530 metres above sea level with a south-east exposure, enjoy a \u003cstrong\u003etemperate climate\u003c\/strong\u003e that encourages optimal grape development. The wine’s identity is deeply linked to the \u003cstrong\u003ecomposition of the soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by limestone, clay and a rich presence of stony skeleton. This particular geological nature allows the vines to maintain a \u003cstrong\u003egood level of acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e, defining a dynamic flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe process follows a complex \u003cstrong\u003etwo-stage refermentation technique\u003c\/strong\u003e. After manual harvesting, the fresh grapes ferment in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. A second portion of the bunches undergoes slight drying before being vinified in winter. The union of the two musts into a single blend initiates the second fermentation, followed by the natural malolactic fermentation. Maturation continues for fifteen months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, concluding with a careful \u003cstrong\u003eageing period\u003c\/strong\u003e of seven months that gives the wine its full structural harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in the historic Valpolicella, the \u003cstrong\u003ePalazzo della Torre 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e embodies the excellence of the Allegrini family, winemakers since the 16th century. This elegant Veronese IGT stands out for its exclusive \u003cstrong\u003erefermentation technique\u003c\/strong\u003e, skilfully combining the must of fresh grapes harvested in September with select bunches partially dried until December.
