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.

Zone of Production:Historical areas of Negrar, Fiumane and Marano. Grape Varieties: 65% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 5% Molinara Wine Background:Only the ripest recie (ears) of the bunches are harvested in late October, they are then dried under shelter in flat wood crates until late January of the next year. The raisined grapes produce a powerful wine with a marvelous black cherry jam flavor that is aged up to 5 years in Slavonian casks. Winemaker's Tasting Notes:Deep garnet red, intense dry grapes and plums with hints of spices (cloves and cinnamon) cherry jam and iris. Toasted almonds complete the finish.
