Allegrini La Poja Monovitigno IGT 2019, 0,75 L

Allegrini is not only capable of producing world-class Amarone but also shows with this wine what is possible in the Veneto apart from dried grapes.

This pure Corvina demonstrates impressively why it has been one of Italy's great icons for years. With its deep, dark colour and its fine aroma of cherries, dark berries and a spicy herbal note, it immediately casts a spell over you.

On the palate, the wine shows enormous density yet never feels heavy. The wonderfully ripe fruit is paired with an elegant, almost silky structure, a style for which the renowned Allegrini winery is internationally acclaimed. The subtle wood notes are perfectly integrated and add further depth. The finish is long, powerful and simply unforgettable.

Corvina comes from the high-altitude vineyard La Poja, which combines barren limestone soils with a perfect south-westerly exposure. These are ideal conditions for concentrated and aromatic grapes. You can sense the signature of the house in every sip: precision, elegance and a wine that will bring pleasure for many years.

It harmonises beautifully with festive dishes such as venison, deer or braised beef, and it also pairs well with mature hard cheeses. This is a great Veneto red wine that shows why it ranks among the best in its class with 98 Falstaff points and 3 Bicchieri.
