Allegrini’s La Poja is a single vineyard, 100% Corvina wine from a 2.65ha parcel at the top of La Grola in Sant’Ambrogio. It is Allegrini’s most prestigious cru.

	Wine Enthusiast
95 points	Aromas of cassis, camphor, French oak and blue flowers form the expressive nose. Full-bodied and elegantly structured, the smooth, delicious palate doles out succulent Morello cherry, spiced blueberry, licorice and tobacco. It's well-balanced, with taut, refined tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2021–2031.

96 points	In 1979, Giovanni Allegrini planted La Grola with all Corvina under Guyot instead of the pergola training system. At the top of this stunning hill of limestone, Franco Allegrini in 1983 foresaw the potential of the 2.6ha plot, 'La Poja' to be bottled as a single vineyard. Here the Corvina 'graspo rosso' clone, richer in colour, achieved perfect ripening and concentration without the need for appassimento. Picked just 10 days later than La Grola and aged in new French oak for a minimum of 20 months, this is one of the top wines from Allegrini. Raspberry and dark cherry fruit integrate with smashed black pepper and cocoa powder in depth. Curry and clove introduce a spicy and savoury palate with dense, graceful tannins and firm yet integrated acidity. Its exotic flavours last for minutes.

95 points	Beautiful transparency to this with blackberry, blueberry, violet and black-olive aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, chewy and polished with creamy texture. Lots of blue fruit at the finish. Better in 2023 and onwards.
