On the palate, it presents a full and structured profile, where a \u003cstrong\u003eprecise tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e harmonises with vibrant freshness. The sip reveals an elegant complexity with fruity notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe morello cherry\u003c\/strong\u003e and spicy hints of white pepper. The sensory experience is enriched by delicate balsamic nuances and hints of iris, leading to a \u003cstrong\u003elong, mineral finish\u003c\/strong\u003e of extraordinary persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown in Sant’Ambrogio di \u003cstrong\u003eValpolicella\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the \u003cstrong\u003eLa Poja estate\u003c\/strong\u003e, a prestigious plot located at the top of the La Grola estate, near Fumane. In this corner of northern \u003cstrong\u003eValpolicella\u003c\/strong\u003e, the hills gently slope towards Lake Garda. The vineyards are situated at around 320 metres above sea level and benefit from optimal south-east exposure. The roots delve into \u003cstrong\u003emainly calcareous soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, rich in stones and white limestone rocks, with veins of clay and gypsum. This particular geological composition gives the wine its typical \u003cstrong\u003efresh and mineral character\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in October with meticulous \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e, carried out while waiting for a slight over-ripening of the bunches on the vine. After destemming and crushing, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about twenty days, then naturally completes malolactic fermentation. The wine matures through a long period in \u003cstrong\u003eAllier oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by further ageing in large \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak casks\u003c\/strong\u003e. The process concludes with essential \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e, which defines an enveloping structure, characterised by impeccable tannins and remarkable persistence on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1979, Giovanni Allegrini chose to plant only Corvina grapes on the summit of the La Grola hill, in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella. From this inspired decision was born the exclusive \u003cstrong\u003ePodere La Poja\u003c\/strong\u003e, a magnificent 2.65-hectare vineyard situated at an altitude of 320 metres. Today, these precious \u003cstrong\u003eold vines\u003c\/strong\u003e of over forty years give life to the flagship label of the historic Venetian winery, founded in 1854. An extraordinary wine that embodies the pure finesse of the region, celebrated in the 2019 vintage with the prestigious \u003cstrong\u003e95 points from James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allegrini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45748456358059,"sku":"58792","price":104.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/allegrini-la-poja-corvina-2019_58792_1_b97dd5ed-fddd-417d-953f-536557f70ecb.webp?v=1773787582","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/products\/allegrini-la-poja-corvina-2019","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
