Allegrini's 2007 La Grola, 80% Corvina and 20% Syrah, is a touch slender in this vintage. Ripe, silky tannins support dark red cherries, cloves, leather and licorice. This remains elegant and suave all the way through to the polished finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2017. A Leonardo Lo Cascio Selection, Winebow, Montvale, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
