Background

Allegrini has been found in Valpolicella since the 16th century. It is now one of the most influential wineries. Now it is the sixth generation, with more than 100 hectares of vineyard, including palazzo della torre, la grola, la poja, villa cavarena, fieramonte, monte dei galli. The vineyard is located on the Valpolicella Classico uphill, 180-280 meters above sea level, facing southeast, the soil is varied, but mainly clay and chalk, with an average vine age of 35 years. Grapes are assorted by hand in late September each year. They are naturally dried for 3-4 months until the grapes lose 40-45% of their weight. By the beginning of January, they will be destemmed and pressed. The wine will be aged in oak barrels for 18 months, and then mixed for 7 months before it goes on sale. . Amarone is one of the most famous Italian wines with Barolo and Brunello di Montalcino. In 2015, it was characterized by high temperature, full aroma and phenolic aldehydes. The finished wine is complex and durable. I believe that this quality can age for 20 years without a problem.

"Italian Wine Yearbook" ranks fifth among all Italian wineries and is the highest ranked winery in the Veneto region. Gambero Rosso (Gambero Rosso) is Italy's most famous wine and food multimedia. Since 1986, it has issued a magazine introducing Italian food and wine. Since then, it has joined the evaluation of wine and restaurant, an authoritative evaluation guide in Italy. The name "Big Red Shrimp" is derived from the name of a tavern in the Italian fairy tale "Pinocchio" (Pinocchio). It is also the creator of the most authoritative and widely disseminated guide to Italian wines in the world-"Italian Wine Yearbook". The "Italian Wine Yearbook" scoring system can be said to be the most authoritative and professional scoring system for the evaluation of Italian wines and wineries. The jury consists of more than 70 experts, including outstanding wine judges from various major producing regions. Covers editors and professional reviewers of "Italian Wine". These 70 experts travel to various wine regions in Italy every year to evaluate wines.

The selection method is a blind tasting. The taster only knows the year and grape variety, but does not know the information of the producer. Grading appraisal uses "wine glass" to distinguish the grade of wine. The highest level is the three-cup award, which is the highest award in the "Italian Wine Yearbook". They are all high-quality wines that have been strictly selected by the "Italian Wine Yearbook" editor and professional jury.

The 2019 La Grola keeps me returning to the glass to take in its darkly alluring blend of steeped cherriesand plums complemented by sage and clove nuances. This is silky-smooth and potent, with a wave of ripered fruits and spices that drench the palate in youthful concentration. Grippy tannins are left to linger as tartwild berries and a subtle hint of citrus add contrast. La Grola is primarily Covring with a 10% dollop ofOseleta and doesn't go through any appassimento.
