Protagonists in the history of Fumane and Valpolicella Classica, the Allegrini family has always been committed to preserving their local culture and traditions. Thanks to important viticulture and wine-making innovations, year after year and bottle after bottle, Allegrini manages to preserve tradition and produce unique and prestigious wines from grapes grown exclusively on the family’s 150 hectares of vineyards. The Verona La Poja red is an extraordinary cru that has now become an icon of the Allegrini family's production, produced using solely Corvina grapes from an area of three hectares on the La Grola plateau. Here the white limestone and the exceptional microclimate give this wine a sensational character and noble elegance. With a dark ruby red colour, it has enveloping aromas of dark berry fruit jam, and balsamic sensations of eucalyptus, spices and tobacco. On the palate is it warm, robust and very lengthy, with soft and persuasive tannins. Maturation in new barriques for 20 months and in large barrels for eight months makes this the perfect wine to accompany elaborate meat dishes, beef stews or recipes based on game and spices.
