winemaker's notes:
Deep ruby red in color, La Grola offers a wide, embracing bouquet of wild berries, juniper, licorice, tobacco and espresso. Full-bodied yet silky, with juicy tannins, La Grola is the wine of choice for red meat, either roasted or in casseroles, and mellow, aged cheeses.
"The 2005 La Grola is a blend of 70% Corvina Veronese, 15% Rondinella, 10% Syrah and 5% Sangiovese that spends 16 months in French oak barrels. Medium in body, it reveals enticing notes of crushed flowers, raspberries, minerals and sweet spices, with outstanding length and silky-textured tannins that round out the close. It is an absolutely delicious, value-priced red from Allegrini." 90 Points,

critical acclaim:
"Shows tarry black fruit, with a light raisiny edge. Full-bodied, with silky, fruit-coated tannins and a clean, well-structured finish that shows persistent fruit. There's notes of citrus fruits as well. Nicely done. Best after 2009. 22,000 cases made. "
