Description
La Poja 2013 Veronese IGT by Allegrini
La Poja 2013 is a red wine of great personality crafted by Allegrini, born from an identity-driven and courageous choice: to enhance the Corvina Veronese in purity from a historic cru of Valpolicella Classica. It is a label designed for those seeking a structured, rich, and deep Italian wine, capable of uniting maturity, elegance, and a pleasant freshness on the palate.
Territory and wine style
The wine comes from the La Poja estate, in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella, in a hilly area suited for quality viticulture. The vineyard is located at about 320 meters above sea level, with a southeast exposure and predominantly calcareous soils rich in skeleton, elements that contribute to providing tension, finesse, and aromatic definition. The manual harvest and slight over-ripening of the grapes reflect a style aimed at concentration, but without losing balance and varietal integrity.
Tasting notes
In the glass, La Poja 2013 expresses itself with an intense and complex profile, dominated by ripe fruit, spices, and herbal notes. The sip is broad, juicy, and full-bodied, supported by a still vibrant freshness that makes the drinking experience dynamic and continuous. The long aging in wood and bottle has helped shape a harmonious, deep, and persistent wine, with a soft yet well-defined texture. The finish is long, elegant, and consistent with the character of Corvina Veronese and its territory of origin.
Recommended pairings
La Poja 2013 pairs naturally with roasted red meats, game, and structured dishes from land cuisine. It is also particularly suitable with aged non-spicy cheeses and dishes featuring white or black truffles, where its aromatic richness complements without overpowering. It is an important table wine, ideal for convivial dinners, tasting menus, and special occasions where one wishes to present a red of strong identity.
Serving temperature
The ideal serving temperature for La Poja 2013 is 18°C. It is recommended to uncork the bottle about an hour before serving, to encourage the bouquet to open up and make the aromatic component more expressive. A wide glass helps to capture its complexity and nuances at their best.
Why buy it
Choosing La Poja 2013 means bringing home an authoritative expression of Valpolicella, built on a selected vineyard and a winemaking process designed to enhance quality, typicity, and longevity. It is a wine that speaks to those seeking a high-end Italian red, suitable for both thoughtful tasting and the table, with a recognizable profile and significant presence. A perfect bottle for those wishing to purchase wine online with attention to territory, style, and enological value.
