Tasting notes
Corvina 100%, harvested at its perfect ripeness, it evokes aromas of both red and black fruits such as black cherry and brambles along with floral notes of dried rose that lend great elegance on the nose. The character is warm, ripe, with vanilla and forest floor notes that could be enhanced with bottle ageing. The sip is fresh, velvety, with ripe tannins very well integrated into the wine. The body is full and fulfilling with long fruity and balsamic sensations in the aftertaste.
Why we like it
When in 1979 Giovanni Allegrini, driven by a deep love for his Valpolicella, decided to plant only Corvina grapes at the top of La Grola, he couldn't have imagined the extraordinary success this wine would achieve. The high-quality viticulture and the perfect microclimate of this plateau, about 3 hectares in size and dazzling with the whiteness of the limestone stones, provide us with the finest grapes that Valpolicella can offer.
Pairings
La Poja, due to its elegance and aromatic length, calls for complex and elaborate dishes. Excellent with red meat, it finds a perfect match in game, such as wild boar or duck, which enhance its aromatic notes. It is also an ideal match for the challenging pairing with truffle, which complements its elegance and intensity.
