Villa della Torre Allegrini: a 16th-century gem

Villa della Torre Allegrini is located in Fumane, in the province of Verona. Immersed in Valpolicella – an area known for its excellent wines – it is indeed surrounded by the Palazzo della Torre vineyard, eponym of the wine included in “Wine Spectator”’s Top 100 for several years.

The residence’s layout resembles that of a Roman domus, with a central court surrounded by a peristyle with Doric capitals barely rough-hewed in stone. It all makes for a decadent and vaguely mysterious vibe, channeled by the peculiar interior decor as well.
