Corvina
Slender, fresh reds with a clear ruby robe, fine tannins and lively acidity, showing aromas of sour cherry, bitter almond, spice and a characteristically bitter finish. Vinified as light, gulpable reds (Bardolino DOC, Valpolicella DOC), powerful and concentrated through appassimento (Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG) and sweet (Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG). An autochthonous Venetian variety from Lake Garda and the Valpolicella.

Intensely coloured, structured reds with inky robe and firm tannins, with typical aromas of blackberry, black plum, roasted coffee, cocoa, banana and characteristic smoky notes. Made as powerful ageing reds and as more approachable fruity cuvées, sometimes as rosés. Absolute signature of South Africa (Stellenbosch, Swartland, Paarl). Cross of pinot noir × cinsault created in 1925 by Abraham Perold at Stellenbosch University.
