Allegrini Palazzo della Torre "Supervenetian" private wine tasting

Allegrini Palazzo della Torre WINE SPECTATOR TOP 100 for 6 times

In a Villa that is a renaissance re-proposal of the Domus of Ancient Rome, enjoy private wine tasting & wine pairing lunch

Immerse yourself calmly, guided by your personal Ambassador, in an enchanted and alchemical atmosphere…

The entire complex of Villa della Torre is an extraordinary mix of ancient-Roman reminiscences, Christian philosophical paths and sunny Renaissance rationality… gardens around the pools with water, let yourself be fascinated by the monstrous mask fireplaces that guard the fire, enjoy the view from the Temple of Jupiter…

One of the rooms with the Grandi Camini Mascheroni by Giulio Romano will be set up and reserved only for our guests who will be able to taste the TOP line of Allegrini wines guided by an expert, in an atmosphere that is simply unique in the world.

A tailor made lunch will then follow, always in a reserved room, with dishes specially made by the chefs of Allegrini to perfectly match the wines offered in combination.

VILLA DELLA TORRE, among the rare and precious jewels of the Italian Renaissance, is the work of the masters Giulio Romano and Michele Sanmicheli who designed its shapes between 1440 and 1562, according to the model of the ancient Roman DOMUS.

Purchased in 2008 by Marilisa Allegrini, today hosts a Wine & Art relais and is home of the Villa della Torre wine company, a project followed by the daughters of Marilisa, Carlotta and Caterina.
