2019 Allegrini La Grola IGT

2019 Allegrini La Grola IGT from Veneto is a flagship single-vineyard wine built primarily on Corvina with a touch of international varieties like Syrah, offering a more modern and structured expression of the region. The nose is deep and complex, showing blackberry, cherry and plum, layered with violet, tobacco, cocoa and sweet spice, alongside subtle herbal and balsamic notes. It has a polished, slightly international profile while still retaining clear Italian character.

Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is exactly the kind of wine we position as a “modern premium Veneto red” — sitting between traditional Valpolicella and international-style reds. It’s a great recommendation for customers who enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon or Rhône blends, but want something with an Italian twist and more elegance. Compared to Palazzo della Torre (baby Amarone), this is more structured, serious and terroir-driven. Perfect with lamb, roasted meats or mushroom dishes, and will drink well now or over the next 8–12 years.
