Allegrini La Poja 1996 is a single-varietal Corvina, showcasing the characteristics of this indigenous Veneto grape. The nose reveals notes of red fruits, dried plums and earthy undertones, with a hint of spice. On the palate, it presents a full-bodied texture, marked by concentrated fruit flavours and a noticeable depth. The finish is long, accompanied by subtle herbal and tea-like nuances. Allegrini, a family-run estate, has been producing wine in the Valpolicella region since the 16th century, emphasising traditional methods alongside modern techniques.
