2013 Palazzo Della Torre

We had this 2013 Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre the label will tell you much of what you need to know. It is a red wine made from two grapes Corvina and Rondinella. A few nights ago we had the 2012 Zenato Ripassa, which is also made from the Corvina and Rondinella grapes. While the Ripassa is made by passing the juice of the once fermented grapes over the skins and lees of the fermented Amarone grapes, in the case of the Palazza Della Torre, only some of the grapes used in making this wine is left to dry. We have encountered this technique used by Winemaker Andrzej Lipinski at Colaneri Winery located in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
We had this wine with pizza after working in the vineyard, neither of us wanted to cook. That is our excuse. At less than $20.00 a bottle, this is a wine well worth stockpiling in your wine cave.
