La Poja is Allegrini's flagship single-vineyard, single-varietal Corvina — the world's first 100% Corvina wine when it debuted with the 1983 vintage. Sourced from a tiny 2.6-hectare limestone plateau atop the La Grola hill, it is aged for around 20 months in new French oak, delivering remarkable depth, structure, and aging potential of 20+ years.
La Poja proved Corvina could stand alone — a benchmark single-varietal red that rewards patience with two decades of graceful evolution.
