La Grola, a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, Syrah and Sangiovese, shows the continuing progress that Allegrini has made since the 1997 vintage. It is elegant and velvety, now displaying many more layers of flavour and complexity than in the earlier vintages. This is a sure sign that the La Grola vineyard, after almost 20 years, is now producing the quality of fruit that make it one of Valpolicella's most fabled crus. La Grola, a single vineyard wine, fled the safety of DOC to become IGT from the 1997 vintage. The Allegrinis were fed up with the failure of the law to catch up with the quality demands of the modern consumer. They had long ceased putting Molinara in the blend, yet the law had failed to change. Similarly, they had increased the level of Corvina beyond the permitted maximum in search of better depth in the wines. (6 x 75 cl)

AllegriniLAGROLA IGT Veneto
Description: This is a very good wine at this price, made using Valpolicella grapes grown on one of the best, south-east facing slopes in the Classico district, but bearing no resemblance to the light, juicy red stuff usually associated with that wine name. Full-bodied and spicy, LaGrola is well worth laying down for five years or more, especially in this magnum format, to reap the full reward of its opulent fruit. (6 x 1.5 Litres) Price: £203.54

Allegrini Valpollcella Veneto
Description: Allegrini’s Valpolicella has superb colour that gives way to a fresh black cherry character on the nose and a depth of fruit on the palate that belies its modest price tag. For years we have been trying to convince Franco Allegrini to bottle his wine under stelvin in order to preserve the purity and vibrancy of the fruit. However, this has not been possible due to the law in Valpolicella Classico. This year, Allegrini has had enough of waiting and has decided to take the plunge and declassify the wine to Valpolicella. As a result Allegrini Valpolicella will be sealed under screwcap. This is a brave move by Allegrini, but is made in the face of official ignorance and intransigence. We hope their bravery, and the success that will follow, will give others the courage to continue to push for changes in the law. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £103.46

Allegrini Valpolicella Classico Veneto
Description: The quality of this Valpolicella Classico shows just how rare producers like Allegrini are, as to produce this sort of quality consistently and at such a reasonable price is a remarkable feat. Made primarily from Corvina and Rondinella, the wine has superb colour, an attractive perfume of black cherries and a liveliness of fruit that is seldom evident in these wines. This is easily the best Valpolicella that Franco Allegrini has made in several years, thanks in part to the quality of fruit obtained in this vintage, but also to an intentional move back on Franco’s part to a wine with a bit more acidity on the finish, something that gives it a freshness and aromatic lift. (24 x 37.5 cl) Price: £127.30
