Corvina & Corvinone Wines
Corvina & Corvinone are red grape varieties from the Veneto region of Italy, primarily used in the production of Valpolicella and Amarone wines. They produce medium to full-bodied wines with flavors of cherry, plum, and a hint of spice. The ABV for Corvina & Corvinone wines generally ranges from 12-15%. Their popularity is due to their ability to produce both fresh, youthful wines and rich, complex, age-worthy expressions.
The diverse soils and microclimates of the Veneto region provide ideal conditions for Corvina & Corvinone, allowing the grapes to develop their characteristic flavors and structure. The traditional appassimento method, used to make Amarone, involves drying the grapes before fermentation, enhancing the richness and concentration of the wines. Corvina & Corvinone's versatility in producing a range of styles, from light and fruity to powerful and complex, ensures their continued appeal and prominence in Italian viticulture.
