The 2017 Allegrini La Poja IGT is one of Italy’s most iconic single-vineyard wines, crafted entirely from Corvina grown on the famed La Poja plateau in Valpolicella. Deep, powerful and remarkably refined, it reveals intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum layered with dried rose, liquorice, cedar, balsamic spice and earthy mineral complexity.
On the palate is full-bodied and velvety, with concentrated dark fruit, silky tannins and vibrant freshness creating exceptional balance and elegance. Matured extensively in French barriques and Slavonian oak, the wine combines richness with precision, leading to a long, polished and beautifully structured finish. The 2017 vintage delivers impressive depth and ageing potential while maintaining the finesse that has made La Poja a benchmark of Italian fine wine.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout collector’s wine for lovers of premium Italian reds and cellar-worthy wines with power, elegance and complexity. Sophisticated yet deeply expressive, it pairs beautifully with aged steak, braised beef, truffle dishes or mature hard cheeses. Decant if drinking young or cellar confidently for 15–20+ years.
