Ikonisk enkeltmarksvin med helt op til 98 point!
La Grola er ikke blot en af Allegrinis mest ikoniske vine, men en af de mest ikoniske og karakterfulde rødvine fra Veneto. Druerne stammer fra den berømte enkeltmark La Grola, hvor kalkholdig jordbund og kølige nætter giver druer med stor koncentration og finesse. I modsætning til de berømte Amarone-vine laves La Grola ikke på tørrede druer.
Årgang 2018 byder på en intens og raffineret aroma af modne kirsebær, brombær og blommer, ledsaget af noter af krydderier, lakrids og et strejf af tobak og vanilje fra fadlagringen. Smagen er fyldig og harmonisk med silkebløde tanniner, frisk syre og en lang, elegant eftersmag.
La Grola 2018 er primært baseret på Corvina suppleret med Veronese, og har lagret 20 måneder på nye barriques samt på større brugte fade af slavonsk egetræ, hvilket giver vinen fornem struktur uden at overdøve frugten.
Et sandt mesterværk, som i den fantastiske årgang 2018 har opnået imponerende 98 point hos Decanter.

Beautiful lifted scents on the nose; crushed rose petals, pink peppercorns, such incredible incense fragrance - alive, pure, concentrated and expressive - strawberries and blood orange. Crystalline and pure, upfront from the first sip - juicy and so lively but energetic too - incredibly forward and electric almost. Direct at first, then slowly expands, increasing in intensity, mass and flavour as it goes from start to finish. Leaves a lingering buzz on the tongue with softly spiced edges and a depth of red cherry and plum fruit that lasts and lasts. Utterly seductive and expansive, not especially demonstrative in terms of texture at the moment, more controlled and calm, it's all about the flavours and the intensity of the acidity that gives this such a thrill. Just hinting at its potential with brightness and verve. Tannins are integrated giving the frame and the flavour is nuanced and poised. Great freshness with balanced acidity. Feels well made with intention and such lovely drinking pleasure, a benefit of the slightly cooler vintage. A wine that makes you think, and then smile, and then drink! La Poja is Allegrini’s flagship single-vineyard red and sits at the summit of Podere La Grola. The Corvina vines were planted in 1979 on well-drained chalk and stony soils, and its first vintage was in 1983.

Attractive aromas of dark raspberry jam, dried strawberries and figs with hints of dark chocolate, flowers and orange rind. Medium-to full-bodied with very silky tannins and lovely dryness to the mid-palate. Impressive concentration and length, showing a very long, persistent finish with juicy black cherries and bitter chocolate at the end. Nothing sweetish here. Drinkable now, but better after 2023.

The 2018 La Poja opens slowly in the glass as notes of crushed ashen stone and savory herbs give way to crushed cherries and blueberries. This is a decidedly delicate and finessed style. Brisk acidity enlivens its tart wild berry fruits as plum and dark chocolate notes evolve toward the close. The 2018 leaves a coating of fine tannins to linger, finishing with admirable length yet structured. Always a standout, La Poja is a varietal Corvina made entirely from fresh (not dried) grapes.
Robert Parker - 92
The Allegrini 2018 Corvina Veronese La Poja (with 14,000 bottles made) delivers lots of ripe fruit with baked cherry, plum and earthy notes of wet clay, terracotta and rusty nail. This vintage lacks some of the extreme clarity and focus that the Corvina grape is very capable of giving. The growing season saw a cool spring and heat spikes throughout the summer that contribute to the large span of random fruit aromas on offer here.
