What to Expect

Corvina is one of the classic grapes of the Veneto region of Italy. It is usually the predominant grape in the blends used for Bardolino and Valpolicella. Corvina tends to produce lightly-colored wines with high acidity and moderate tannins featuring flavors that recall dark berries with hints of bitter almond. Corvina's thick skins lends the grape to rasining without rot. This technique is used to produce richer and dessert styled wines such as Amarone and Recioto.

Winemakers Notes

"Federal Wines, Boston (Peter Hemenway): This is the finest of the Italians. [I] always give this bottle when [I] want to give a fine gift."" From: www.thewinedoctor.com [Review of 1993] A lovely garnet red of moderate intensity, which although fading a little at the rim does not show any real signs of age. The nose is delightful although a little confusing, as it throws up some dark, dense, almost claretty fruit with a little smoke. Meaty, slightly metallic background notes. There is a full, slightly creamy texture, much more so than I recall from my last tasting. Smoky cherry read more...fruit on the palate. Less acidity than one might imagine. Some ripe, succulent tannins through the midpalate which serve to give only pleasure, and some nice extract too. Clean, balanced finish. """    (hide)
