Country: Italy Region: Veneto Varietal: Corvina 100% Vintage: 2016 Colour: Red Style: Dry Producer: Franco Allegrini Description:Made from Corvina Veronese grapes grown at the top of the prestigious and ancient La Grola vineyard, in the parcel called La Poja. This is the first example in Valpolicella of Corvina Veronese vinified as a single varietal. The inspiration behind this lies with Giovanni Allegrini and stemmed from his passionate belief in the land on which he lived. Ageing Potential: 5-7 Years Tasting Note:"Intense, oak-tinged minerals hit the nose, accompanied by ripe plum and berry and hints of flowers. Full-bodied and chewy, with big, velvety tannins and fresh acidity that enhances the fruit flavors, leading to a long, well-balanced finish." Wine Spectator Sept.'06 - 92 points.
