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.

Supple and fruity reds with a vivid ruby colour, soft tannins and snappy acidity, with aromas of sour cherry, raspberry, red plum and gentle spices. Made as easy-drinking young reds and as more structured, oak-aged cellar wines. The most planted red variety in Austria (Burgenland, Carnuntum, Neusiedlersee), created in 1922 by Friedrich Zweigelt in Klosterneuburg, a cross of saint laurent × blaufränkisch.
