Allegrini La Poja Corvina 2018
In 1979 when Giovanni Allegrini, inspired by brillant intuition and a profund understanding of his beloved Valpolicella, decided to plant only the Corvina Veronese varietal on the summit of the La Grola hill, perhaps even he could not have imagined the extraordinary future success of this wine.

Bouquet

Intense and extraordinarily fruity wine. Its aromas range from ripe cherry to white pepper, embellished with balsamic nuances and hints of iris.

Flavour

It embodies the maximum finesse that the noble Veronese grape can express in a treasure trove of opulence, tautness and vigour.

Pairing

La Poja makes an ideal accompaniment to roasted red meats and game. Excellent with aged cheeses, and a perfect match with white or black truffles.
