La Poja is a single-cru vineyard at the top of the La Grola hill in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella, in the Veneto region of Italy. The romantic explanation of the origin of the name is that it derives from ‘Pojana’, a bird of the falcon family which hovers over the crown of the hill.
More prosaically, it might come from the Longobard word which means ‘ploughed and cultivated land’, suggesting a long history of land use.
