Villa della Torre presents its Valpolicella Classico Superiore, an enveloping dry red produced in the municipality of Fumane, in Verona. The estate was purchased in 2008 by the famous Allegrini family with the intent of creating an ambitious artistic, social, and enological context. This bottle reflects the French concept of Chateau as it comes directly from the vineyards surrounding the splendid homonymous Renaissance villa, built between the 15th and 16th centuries according to the model of the Roman domus.
The Valpolicella Classico Superiore Villa della Torre comes from the blending of the indigenous grape varieties Corvinone (70%), Corvina (25%), and Rondinella (5%). The predominant use of Corvinone, instead of the more common Corvina, reflects the winery's intention to create a wine of great finesse and extraordinary qualitative balance. The vineyards rest on soils composed of silt and clay, with abundant limestone presence. After manual harvesting, the grapes are vinified in steel and subsequently the mass is transferred to oak barrels for aging for 12 months. Before being released for sale, the wine spends an additional 6months of refinement in the bottle.
To the eye, the Valpolicella DOC Villa della Torre Classico Superiore shows a deep ruby red color. The nose reveals vivid hints of berries accompanied by notes of spices and vanilla, while the taste is characterized by good structure, a subtle tannic texture, and a fresh and persistent finish that lingers on fruity perceptions. A label that stands out for its typicity and pleasantness, as well as for its remarkable versatility in food-wine pairing.
