Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre 2020

Corvina, corvinone, rondinella and sangiovese. In the past, all grapes were dried. Only corvinone today is dried due to the large berry size and greater liquid-to-solid ratio. While the oak is evident, this is clearly a full-weighted wine built to age. With this in mind, it serves as a structural addendum rather than a scream. Dark saturated cherry notes, kirsch, licorice strap, black olive tapenade and alpine herb, bound to an edgy twine of tannins, with an underlying raft of freshness conferring a sappy, crunchy feel and fine length. Drink or hold.

Clear, deep dark ruby red colour. Opens invitingly on the nose, with lots of fruit, concentrated and savoury, slightly animalistic on the finish. Soft and flattering on the palate initially, opulent, with great presence and long finish.
