Allegrini, Poja, IGT, Veneto

An introduction to Allegrini, Poja, IGT, Veneto

Poja, a hidden gem of Verona, Italy, is the vineyard that Allegrini has bestowed with Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta vines to create a superb Veneto IGT. The vineyard, resting on slopes of chalk and clay, was established as an experiment to test Corvina’s potential in a single-vineyard wine. The result has been nothing short of exceptional. Allegrini Poja expresses intensity and depth with its full-bodied profile and robust structure. Swirling in the glass, it reveals complex notes of red fruit, spices, and a touch of cocoa. With a persistent and savory finish, this wine has proven its capacity for extensive ageing and has secured praise from critics globally.

Performance

Understanding Allegrini, Poja, IGT, Veneto

The estate meticulously cultivates 1.5 hectares of vineyard using time-honored and sustainable practices. The south-east facing slopes provide ideal exposure for the grapes, allowing them to ripen to perfection. In the cellar, the wine undergoes fermentation in steel vats before maturing in French oak for 18 to 20 months, followed by additional aging in the bottle. This rigorous process contributes to Poja's rich character and impressive complexity.
