Winemakers Notes

In this wine, spicy and woody notes intertwine harmoniously with fruity sweetness and
aromatic depth. Ripe plum and cherry blend with hints of forest floor, while balsamic
nuances add freshness and complexity. Elegant touches of chocolate, coffee, and licorice
emerge on the finish, wrapped in a refined undertone of iris and violet. The perfect
harmony between the slight sweetness from the drying process and the vibrant acidity
gives structure and drinkability, delivering an authentic and enveloping expression of the
vintage.

The year 2022 was different from previous ones. It was already dry in February
and March, leading to an early start of the season by about 20 days at the end of
spring. The sun, excessive heat, and lack of rain made the situation critical, and only
emergency irrigation made grape maturation possible. However, in early August, the
rains that fell between August 6 and 13 provided relief, reversing the course of the
season. The veraison phase accelerated, and almost all the grape clusters were able to
ripen, also thanks to the increased nighttime temperature variation in the second half of
August.

Pairing: Palazzo della Torre is a wine thought for conviviality. It pairs very well with Eggplant
parmigiana, an Italian Lasagna or international dishes like Paella with Chorizo or
Butter chicken in Indian Cuisine. These international pairings highlight the versatility of
Palazzo della Torre.

Critical Acclaim

92 Points James Suckling

An intense wine with multilayered fruit, showing sour cherries, blackberries, plums, vibrant black pepper and nicely integrated vanilla. Chewy on the palate. Crisp, long acidity and firm, chalky tannins are well balanced with the fruit in the medium-bodied, savory finish. Drink or hold.

91 Points Vinous

The 2022 Palazzo della Torre wafts up with a spicy mix of crushed violets, cedar box and cloves, giving way to dried black cherries. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness balanced by crisp mineral tones and citrus-laced red berry fruits. This tapers off with excellent length and refinement, leaving the mouth salivating as a hint of tart blackberry fades.
