The Italian Corvina grape produces light red wines with captivating aromas of cherry and flowers, fine acidity, and low tannin. It's a top grape, a key ingredient in Amarone and Valpolicella.
Corvina doesn't always guarantee quality. But when planted in full sun, on rolling slopes of limestone and volcanic soil, and the winemaker hasn't exercised restraint in pruning, Corvina shows its best side: refined, subtle, and refined.
Corvina is a small grape with a thick skin. This gave Italian winemakers the idea hundreds of years ago to let it dry after harvesting and then press it into wine. And that's how they still make their renowned Amarone and Recioto in the northern Italian wine region of Veneto.
Very rarely do you see a wine made solely from Corvina. Traditionally, it is blended with other Valpolicella grapes, the most important of which are Corvinone and Rondinella.
We currently have one wine made from the Corvina grape in our range. You can view our Corvina wine here.
