Tech Sheet
CORVINA is the main grape for the Valpolicella and the Amarone wines. It owes its name to the dark color of its skins, that are black as the feathers of a beautiful CROW! Poetically in Verona (the romantic city of Romeo and Juliette) we say that Valpolicella is the valley that “flies”, because every grape variety carries the name of a bird!!!
Creating the CORVINA di Verona was for me a very fun project. My intention was to bring to the table of my friends a wine capable to reveal all the characteristics of a Valpolicella Superiore in a more friendly and joyful style.
Basically, in a world saturated by big opulent wines, always voted towards the false concept that “the bigger is the better”, my Corvina wants to resume the original Valpolicella style.
A wine friendly on the palate, easy to drink, always capable to steal a smile from anybody that approaches a glass. Fun to drink on its own yet perfect with any type of food, it pleases talkative and noisy crowds as well as refined and solitary palates.
Best served at 60°-64° F.
