Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2000
Red Blends
from Veneto, Italy
winemaker's notes:
Number 65 on Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2004!
"Lots of black fruit, violet and mineral character. Full-bodied, with densely packed fruit on a rounded, expanisve palate, with well-integrated tannins and a long, fruity, minerally finish. Delicious now, but should open up even more. A great value at this score."
-Wine Spectator
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.

A Customer - San Francisco
After reading a recommendation in a forum, I decided to take a chance on this wine. I enjoyed it so much that I bought a case for future drinking.
Aroma- subtle and haunting
Taste- seductively easy to drink; soft tanin, but long finish.
A good alternative to merlot.
A Customer - Chicago
It was awesome. I picked it up randomly and was very pleased. Try it! It will put you in your happy place.
A Customer - Boulder
We recently did an Italian wine tasting, and this was one of the best we featured. It was only beaten narrowly by a Brunello, but at 1/3 the price, a clear winner overall. You won't be disappointed.
