Allegrini Grola 2022
This wine has a complex tannic structure, balanced by refreshing acidity and ripe fruit. Its complex nose of blackberries, cherries, and violets is complemented by notes of vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate. The tannins are present yet mature, creating a velvety sip with a long finish of red and black fruits.
The ‘La Grola’ vineyard was bought by Giovanni Allegrini in 1979. Planted at 310 metres above sea level, this 30-hectare site has a south-easterly aspect and well-drained calcareous and clay soils. The youngest plantings date to 1998, and the vines are double Guyot trained at a density of between 4,240 and 6,500 vines per hectare. This high-density planting creates low yields of consistently high-quality fruit, with marked concentration of flavour.
The grapes were de-stemmed and crushed, then fermented at 20-25°C for 15 days with gentle extraction. The wine was then aged in a mix of second fill barrique and 85 hectare litre casks for 16 months before bottling. It remained in bottle for 10 months before release.
