The Wine Advocate 92 pts - Antonio Galloni
Allegrini's 2004 La Poja (100% Corvina) is made in a sweet, layered style. Dark red fruit, sweet herbs and toasted oak emerge from this refined, sumptuous red. The wine possesses notable expansiveness on the palate in an utterly compelling expression of this indigenous Veronese grape. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024.

Wine Spectator 88 pts - Jo Cooke
Offers currant and fresh mushroom on the nose. Full-bodied, with concentrated fruit coating the fine tannins and giving a medium finish. This has a solid core of ripe fruit, but it's a little understated. Best after 2009. 1,800 cases made.

Wine Enthusiast 93 pts - Monica Larner
This is a gorgeous wine with loads of intensity and personality derived from the native Corvina grape of Valpolicella, Italy. It's amazingly rich and smooth with long-lasting flavors of maraschino cherry, Indian spice and cola.

Description:
This is a complex, full-bodied monovarietal with intense ruby red colour and perfume of blackberries and spices. Made from Corvina Veronese grapes grown at the top of the prestigious and ancient La Grola vineyard, in the parcel called La Poja, where it has found its ideal terroir. This wine is absolutely original for the Valpolicella Classico area. It indeed reveals the character of the most important indigenous grape of this region, which traces its legendary origin precisely on this hill. The inspiration behind this monovarietal lies with Giovanni Allegrini and stemmed from his passionate belief in the land on which he lived. It has the potential to age for 18 years. La Poja makes an ideal accompaniment to roast red meats and game. It is excellent with aged cheeses, and a perfect match with dishes made with white or black truffles.
