A classic Valpolicella from Allegrini, one of the largest vineyard assemblages (350 acres, producing nearly 1,000,000 bottles annually) in Veneto. Their Palazzo della Torre contains the usual blend of 70% Corvina, 25% Rondinella, and 5% Sangiovese. It has a deep, ruby-red color and a full nose of blackberries and licorice. From 2000 to 2005, Palazzo della Torre has been selected by Wine Spectator as one of the "Top 100 wines of the world". The wine, which is aged for 15 months in both barriques and barrels, and then aged for an additional 7 months in the bottle prior to release, uses 30% dried grapes for a Amarone Jr. feel. This rich, full-bodied wine is a great accompaniment to anything roasted or grilled.
