"Still too young but with great character and vitality. The blend of fruit, acidity and discreet hints of oak bode well for its future evolution." –2009
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 producer richer and dessert styled wines such as Amarone and Recioto.
