Italy is known as one of the finest producers of wine throughout the entire world and are known for their elegant and rustic characteristics. One of my favorite Italian wines has to be Palazzo Della Torre from Allegrini This wine incorporates three different types of grapes made in a ripasso style. 70% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella and 5% Sangiovese. This wine is unique in that it follows some of the same steps as an Amarone. 70% of the grapes are vinified right after harvest and the remaining 30% are dried until the end of December. By drying out the grapes it gives this wine an extra dimension of richness and body unlike any wine that I have encountered. Scents of chocolate, coffee, dark fruit and licorice can all be seen on the palate and will only get better with age. Stop by and try this exciting and scrumptious wine for yourself! Drink now through 2017. $18.99
