Villa della Torre, a magical place of the Italian Renaissance, is today the heritage of the Allegrini family. The project by Giulio Romano provided for the re-proposal in 1560 of the “Domus” of Ancient Rome.
In this incredible “alchemical” location you can enjoy a unique wine experience: the meeting of two italian regions, Tuscany and Veneto, with some of the most famous wines in the world, Amarone, Bolgheri and Brunello di Montalcino.
The Villa della Torre winery is the Venetian location where we are and produces, in the vineyards you see in the hills that surround you, the “Verona PALAZZO della TORRE”, in the top 100 of Wine Spectator for SIX times.
The wines of the Tuscan winery of Poggio al Tesoro in Bolgheri are produced from vineyards which are reflected in the sea “under the Tuscan sun”. Also this wine, “Bolgheri Sondraia” is in the Wine Spectator Top 100 2011 n.79, 93 pts.
The Tuscan estate of San Polo produces a magnificent Brunello di Montalcino. Its vineyards are located at one of the highest altitudes in the area and are cultivated according to the principles of sustainable agriculture. The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2015 has already obtained 93 pts. by Wine Spectator.

Already harmonious and supple, this red offers black cherry, raspberry and floral flavors, showing both intensity and finesse. Bright and focused, with refined tannins and a lingering aftertaste that echoes berry and spice. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2014 through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. 5,000 cases made. —BS
Wine Spectator 93 pts. San Polo Riserva Brunello di Montalcino 2015*
Lush and fruity, featuring plum, cherry, strawberry and iron aromas and flavors. Bright acidity and dense tannins form the structure as this plays out on the long finish. The excellent youthful balance shows promise for the future. Best from 2023 through 2040. 800 cases made, 100 cases imported. — BS
