The 2022 La Grola is one of Allegrini 's most iconic wines, a bold red wine made from one of the most iconic vineyards in the Valpolicella Classica area. The La Grola hill, with its limestone-clayey, mineral-rich soils, is considered the cradle of Veronese viticulture and gives the grapes extraordinary aromatic concentration and unmistakable finesse.

This wine is made from Corvina Veronese , Corvinone , and a small percentage of Rondinella , typical varieties of the area. The harvest, done by hand in the second half of September, is followed by a careful vinification that enhances the purity of the fruit and the freshness of the terroir. It ages for approximately 16 months in barriques and large barrels , followed by a period of bottle aging to complete the wine's harmony.

In the glass, La Grola 2022 presents an intense ruby ​​color with deep reflections. The aroma is broad and complex: notes of ripe cherry, blackberry, and violet blend with elegant hints of vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate . On the palate, it reveals a full and velvety structure , supported by a pleasant freshness and silky tannins that lead to a long, mineral, and persistent finish.

The 2022 vintage, warm and dry but balanced by favorable temperature swings, produced a wine of great balance and depth, capable of fully expressing the potential of the La Grola hill.

Perfect when paired with red meats, roasts, game and mature cheeses , it is also a meditation wine, ideal for those seeking an elegant red with personality.

La Grola 2022 represents the most authentic soul of Valpolicella: a blend of nature, passion, and savoir-faire that recounts the history and modernity of the Allegrini family in every sip.
