Corvinone Wine

Corvinone is a wine grape variety that originated in the Veneto region of Italy. It is believed to be a mutation of the Corvina grape, which is one of the key varieties used in the production of Amarone and Valpolicella wines. Corvinone is known for its thick skin and high resistance to diseases, making it a popular choice for winemakers in the region.

The taste profile of Corvinone wine can vary depending on the winemaking techniques used. Generally, it produces full-bodied wines with rich aromas of dark fruits such as blackberry and black cherry. The wines made from Corvinone often have high tannins and acidity, which contribute to their aging potential. They can exhibit complex flavours of spices, tobacco, and chocolate, adding depth and character to the wine.

The best areas for growing Corvinone grapes are typically found in the Valpolicella region of Italy, specifically in the hills surrounding Verona. Corvinone is often blended with other indigenous grape varieties like Corvina and Rondinella to produce iconic Italian wines such as Amarone and Ripasso.
