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.

I'ts a wine made from sundried grapes, from the warm country of Italy.
It's not as sweet as a sauternes and not as expensive either!
Maybe I shouldn´t compare them to each other but I have to compare with something big. "- Because they are two strong wines in two diffrent worlds."
A della valpoliciella classico is balanced and tend to go strongly togheter with more powerfull desserts.
