Allegrini Veronese Palazzo della Torre 1999
|
|
A smooth full bodied cru. The techniques used for this particular year’s production were completely innovative and untraditional. 70% of the grapes picked from the Podere Palazzo della Torre are vinified immediately. The remaining 30% are left to dry until the end of December when they are vinified and then refermented with the wine from the fresh grapes.

Parker Review: "The 1999 Palazzo della Torre is a proprietary blend of 70% Corvina, 15% Rondinela, 10% Syrah, and 5% Sangiovese aged 17 months in small French foudres. Its bouquet reveals notions of spicy new oak along with chocolate, black currants, cherries, licorice, and tar. Deep, full-bodied, and layered, with a supple texture..."

A gorgeous wine. This shows beautiful perfumes of ripe fruit, with hints of spicy oak and dried flowers. Full-bodied, with superfine, silky tannins and a long, long finish. Best from 2004 through 2008. 18,180 cases made.

This blend is grapy and ripe, with aromas of earth and tree bark mixing nicely with the scent of sweet fruit. The mouthfeel and balance are strong points; the wine seems well structured, with modest tannins and firm acids. Length and drive on the finish confirm its stature and indicate that it will go well with most foods.
