Corvina | Grape variety
The Corvina grape variety, which originates from the picturesque Verona valley, is a fixed part of the Italian wine world that is almost exclusively native to this region. Its history goes back a long way and is closely linked to the rich heritage of the Veneto region. Corvina has established itself as one of the most important grape varieties that shape characteristic wines such as Bardolino and Valpolicella. In these cuvees, it is often combined with the Rondinella and Molinara grape varieties to create complex and expressive wines. The red wines resulting from this combination are characterized by their deep red color, balanced acidity and soft tannins. But Corvina is more than just a grape; it embodies the essence of the Verona region and its unique terroir imprint gives the wines an unmistakable identity. Let's delve into the fascinating world of Corvina and explore its role in the vinophile landscape of northern Italy. - Gerardo [TS03/24]
