Allegrini 'Grola' Valpolicella Classico Superiore

Country: Italy Region: Veneto

Varietal: Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara

Vintage: 2022 Colour: Red Style: Dry

Producer: Franco Allegrini

Description:
Allegrini winemaking philosophy is largely based on the concept of "cru" production - a single vineyard dedicated to the production of local varieties destined to become a single wine. These crus have been a success worldwide. The Palazzo della Torre, La Grola and La Poja have set the highest benchmarks for Valpolicella wines. Allegrini's wine making style has focused on emphasizing the local grapes, crafting enticing wines that always show elegance, intensity, concentration and complexity..

Grola is the proof of how Valpolicella’s most suitable soils and quality viticulture can produce great red wines, even without the aid of traditional techniques such as appassimento and ripasso. The singular, inimitable pedoclimatic conditions on La Grola vineyard and the meticulous cultivation of the grapes give rise to an intense, elegant wine with a distinctive personality, particularly appreciated for the finesse of its aromas.

Tasting Note:
This wine simultaneously expresses a solid character, thanks to its tannic structure,
balanced by refreshing acidity and ripe fruit. Its complex bouquet of blackberries,
cherries, and violets is followed by notes of vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate. The
tannins are present yet mature, creating a velvety sip with a long finish of red and black
fruits.
