Allegrini is a famed Valpolicella producer and the Palazzo Della Torre bottling shows its heritage. The bouquet is juicy and bright with cherry and raspberry fruits underlain by hints of almond, smoke and spice. Lively and zesty on the palate, its layers of pure cherry and berry fruits are enhanced by the almond and spice tones. This is a pure and juicy red that would be a great companion for your favorite grilled foods — from burgers to bratwurst to salmon to zucchni.
