Under the leadership of Marilisa Allegrini, Allegrini remains one of the benchmark producers in Valpolicella. The 2016 Corvina Veronese La Poja is gorgeously stitched together. It boasts flavors of dried dark cherry, plum, and turned earth with lingering spice notes. The palate is concentrated, with prominent but refined tannin. However, its structure is defined more by freshness and verve than tannic density, which makes this utterly irresistible. The La Poja has refreshing acidity and the concentration for years of positive evolution ahead of it, without a doubt, a cornerstone for your cellar.
