The 2006 Corvina La Poja is another racy, exuberant wine loaded with red cherries, spices and grilled herbs. La Poja impresses for its fabulous length and a silky, elegant finish laced with flowers and sweet red fruits. This is an undeniably sexy wine from Allegrini. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.

Here's a modern rendition of Corvina (one of the grapes that makes up Italy's Amarone) that opens with a blast of blackberry fruit, exotic spice, leather, tar and moist pipe tobacco. It's soft and chewy with long, impressive persistency.

Description:
A complex and full-bodied wine with an intense ruby red color and aromas of wild blackberries and spices. On the parcel named 'La Poja', at the summit of the prestigious and historic La Grola hill, the Corvina varietal has found its ideal terroir. A wine with an exceptional ageing potential: up to 20 years. La Poja is the perfect accompaniment to roasted red meat and game. Also ideal with mature cheeses and dishes based on white and black truffles.
