Description
This is one of the wines that has made Allegrini famous worldwide. The vineyard surrounds 'Villa della Torre', a splendid masterpiece of Renaissance architecture now owned by the family. The winery produces a full-bodied red wine with an ageing potential of at least 10 years. The blend is the historic combination of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella with the addition of a small quantity of Sangiovese. A small percentage of the harvested Corvinone is left to dry until December and then added to the previously vinified fresh grapes. The result is a velvety, well-balanced red wine that proffers mature, pulpy fruit.
