Corvinone

Corvinone is an Italian black grape from Valpolicella. Its name may come from the deep dark colour which reminds the plumage of the raven (corvo) or from the basket in which the grapes were carried, the “corba”. The grape is black and big, bigger than Corvina, with waxy, blue-black skin. The ruby red colour and the deep flavours of fruits and spices together with the smoothness and tannins make this full body wine a true gem.
