Without question, Allegrini is one of the Veneto’s top producers. They make three wines from the Valpolicella region, this one, a blend from a variety of vineyards, La Grola, from a single vineyard, and La Poja, from the top part of the La Grola vineyard. As a group, they show that Valpolicella, which can produce innocuous wine, can also be the source of exceptional wine. Allegrini’s “basic” Valpolicella has marvelous dense, black cherry-like fruit flavors supported by supple satiny tannins. Vibrancy in the finish makes it a perfect match for hearty pasta dishes. A fabulous buy!
