1997 Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre, Valpolicela

[wondersofwine]

I had the Allegrini Grola Veronese IGT (vintage wasn't listed on the menu) at Bistro Montage in Des Moines, Iowa. It was suggested as the wine to accompany duck breast. As indicated above by Winepoppi, the grapes are Corvina, Rondinella, Syrah, and Sangiovese. I didn't take any notes at the time but found it an enjoyable red wine. One website describes it as having a nose of bitter red fruits and some herbs, and a palate of herbs, cherries with some wood. It mentions that it is balanced and has some complexity.
