Allegrini La Grola 2015

Legend has it that the hill on which the La Grola vineyard stands was the birthplace of Corvina – signature grape of the Valpolicella Classico region. The Allegrini family’s La Grola pays tribute to the story, and blends Corvina Veronese with tiny berried Oseleta for its colour. The result: a richly opulent red. The grapes are all grown on this unique single vineyard that enjoys high levels of sunshine and boasts well drained calcareous and clay soils. The high density vines are on average 25 years old, so produce low yields to give the finished wine powerful concentration. Oak ageing for 15 months, then the same in bottle before release ensures a silky finish. Sublime with osso buco, rich pasta dishes or pork. A star of the region.
