Tasting notes
La Grola is the extraordinary result of the meeting of two great
personalities: the hill of La Grola and the Valpolicella’s
autochthonous grapes. The excellent exposure of the vineyards,
which enjoy the sun’s warm rays and the cool breezes that come
from nearby Lake Garda, allows the grapes to produce their very
best. Careful, craftsman-like ageing in the cellar yields a red wine
with great elegance, harmony and finesse that can evolve
positively for over a decade.
Food pairings
La Grola is excellent paired with red meat dishes, whether roasted
or with dark sauces, and especially lamb and kid. It is also delicious
with stewed or grilled mushrooms and with mild, aged cheeses.
Serve at 16-18°C (61-64°F) and open the bottle an hour before
consumption.
