Corvina Blend

Corvina Blend

Corvina Blend is a distinctive type of grape renowned for producing some of Italy’s most acclaimed wines, including Amarone della Valpolicella and Valpolicella Ripasso. Characterised by its lush cherry flavour, the grape is chiefly cultivated in the Veneto region of Northeastern Italy where it thrives in the limestone-rich soil, flourishing under the Mediterranean climate to deliver a unique, rich, and robust fruit.

The Corvina grape falls into the category of red wine grapes and is often blended with other grape varieties like Rondinella and Molinara. Despite being relatively low in colouring agents and tannins, the Corvina grape is highly valued, thanks to its explosive cherry perfume and its ability to be used in both fresh and dried forms. When dried, it garners distinctive raisin-like qualities that lend great complexity to the wine it produces. It's these characteristics that form the backbone of Amarone, a wine celebrated for its high alcohol content, full-bodied texture, and dried fruit flavours.

Predominantly known for its presence in Valpolicella blends, Corvina is rarely used on its own. However, if made into a varietal wine, Corvina delivers an intriguing profile with notes of sour cherry, almond, and herbs, often accompanied by a knotty finish that conjures visions of traditional Italian scenery.

Corvina Blend grape also has a commendable ageing potential, thanks to its high levels of acidity. As the wine ages, its flavour deepens, revealing enticing notes of bitter chocolate, tobacco, and earth, and gaining a velvety texture that feels wonderfully luxurious on the palate.

In sum, the Corvina Blend grape stands as one of Italy's most cherished viticultural treasures, celebrated for its unique taste, versatility, and the intrinsic complexity it adds to the country’s iconic wines.
