Tasting notes
The dark and brooding 2018 La Grola opens with underbrush and earth tones give way to dusty rose and autumnal spices. This is deeply textural and elegant in feel, with masses of red and black berries complemented by saline-minerals and a brisk acid core. There’s a peppery flourish that lasts through the finale, resonating under an air of violet and lavender, as nuances of dark chocolate linger long. This is a stunning rendition of La Grola, which is a blend of 90% Corvina Veronese and 10% Oseleta.

A blend of 90% Corvina with 10% Oseleta, the Allegrini 2018 La Grola shows medium dark intensity with lots of smoky overlays, including tobacco and campfire ash. At the core of the wine is a healthy dose of ripe blackberry and plum. The wine offers the power and textural fiber to pair with a classic steak in creamy mushroom sauce.
