Allegrini La Poja 2017 is a single-varietal Corvina Veronese red wine from the Valpolicella region. Sourced from Allegrini’s high-altitude single vineyard in the Fumane hills, the wine deliberately avoids the appassimento (drying) process. This approach produces a structured, dry expression of the variety with immense structural foundation. This wine offers concentrated aromas of black cherry, plum, spice and earth. The palate is powerful and full-bodied, showcasing dense structure and persistence.
93 Vinous
A burst of mocha and clove is balanced by dusty black cherries and savory herbs as the 2017 La Poja blossoms in the glass. This is a heady and extroverted expression with a pretty inner sweetness contrasted by tart black fruits and inner herb tones. Dark chocolate, cloves, hints of vanilla and candied lavender can all be found through the incredibly long and palate-staining finale. The 2017 finishes lightly structured. For all of its extroverted character, the La Poja boasts only three grams of residual sugar per liter. This may be a big wine, but the balance is remarkable. Eric Guido1st April 2022

Sweet-sour fruit, red berries, soy, aniseed, sweet damson on the nose, followed by dried herbs and strawberry liqourice. The vines for La Poja are located on a limestone plateau on the hill of La Grola, one of the highest altitude spots in Valpolicella. There is some heat from the alcohol but the high acidities and low 3.51ph give balance and juice. Long skin contact, and extended ageing across both bigger casks and small Slovenian oak barrels. A great food wine, and one of the rare wines from this area made without the appassimento method. 3.51ph. Marilisa Allegrini owner, carrying on from her brother Franco.Jane Anson31st August 2022
