Allegrini Palazzo della Torre 2018
Allegrini’s take on the “Ripasso” method is made from a portion of grapes dried just for this wine (and not from the Amarone pomace). It's a smooth, velvety wine with ripe, juicy dark fruit and silky tannins.

91-93 ,Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Corton les Renardes Grand Cru is 100% whole bunches and 100% new French oak. It has a superb bouquet - you cannot tell the stems are here at all. Very floral with dried rose petals, a touch of lavender and pure red berry fruit.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Ladoix La Corvee ler Cru, completely de-stemmed, has a perfumed, violet-tinged bouquet ith a spring in its step. The medium-bodied palate has supple, fine tannins. It is fresh and vibrant, with a keen thread of acidity and a precise finish.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard Les Epenots ler Cru is a blend of the separately fermented Petit and Grands Epenots, about 50/50, 40% whole bunches and raised in 50% new French oak. The wood is just covering some of the fruit at the moment, so it will require some time to assimilate fully.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard Les Argillieres ler Cru has around 20% whole bunches and 35% new French oak. Parent described this as an understated cru that has a more intense finish. It has a well-defined, very pure bouquet, a mixture of red and blueberry fruit. Fine mineralite.
91-93 Neal Martin, October 2023 The 2022 Pommard Les Chanlins ler Cru is around 20% whole bunches and 35% new oak.
90-92, Neal Martin, October 2023. The 2022 Pommard La Croix Blanche includes 10% whole bunches on the top of the vat. It has a delightful bouquet; those stems add a slight pepperiness. The 35% new oak is neatly integrated.

96 points Susan Hulme MW TWI “The 2017 Biondi Santi Brunello has a lightly fragrant oak nose with notes of cream and vanilla and cherry. The weight is beautifully ethereal with a little of that weightless quality that you find in very fine wines.
