Product Overview
93 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"La Grola has been a stalwart wine of the Allegrini family since 1989. This 90% Corvina and 10% Oseleta blend opens with aromas of black plum, macerated black cherries, clove, cinnamon, black pepper and violets. As the wine further opens, cedar, cigar box and tobacco notes develop. On the palate, there is a dance between rich black-hued fruits and taut well-structured tannins as savory and earthy notes add to the intrigue." -JP, 3/1/24

"An elegant red, with fine tannins seamlessly meshed with the ripe black and red cherry flavors. Accents of cured tobacco, rose hip, cocoa powder and anise wind through the fruit profile, and a subtle, minerally streak of fresh earth and iron lingers on the finish. Corvina and Oseleta. Drink now through 2034. 15,833 cases made, 787 cases imported." -AN, 2/29/24

"The 2020 La Grola is dark, brooding and complex, tempting the imagination with notes of spiced blood orange, cloves, dark chocolate and dried black cherries. It’s soft textured and more lifted than expected, with brisk acidity and a wave of tart wild berry fruit that slowly saturates. It tapers off with tension, puckering the cheeks with a primary concentration of fine-grained tannins that lingers on. The 2020 is an intense La Grola that will require patience." -EG, Dec/2023

"Made with 90% Corvina with 10% Oseleta, the 2020 La Grola shows ripe fruit, some background herbal notes, licorice, tar and soft spice. There is a slightly wild side to this easy red wine with fresh acidity and a whistle-clean finish. With 70,000 bottles released, La Grola paints a more focused picture of Corvina specifically, a grape normally used in traditional Amarone blends." -ML, 10/5/23
