Guest of Allegrini family in an Italian Renaissance villa

PRIVATE guest of Allegrini family in a masterpiece of Italian Renaissance villa, tasting of old vintages & perfect wine pairing lunch.

Villa della Torre, a magical place of the Italian Renaissance, is today the heritage of the Allegrini family.

The project by Giulio Romano and Michele Sanmicheli provided for the re-proposal of the Domus of Ancient Rome, with all its glories and its classical magnificence.

After the relaunch of the Palazzo della Torre wine with the “double fermentation” method, it has become one of the most loved and appreciated Italian red wines. Inserted 6 times (I mean SIX !!!) in the Top 100 of Wine Spectator, it is one of the wines that made Allegrini famous all over the world.
