Corvina is a red grape from the Veneto famous for its role in Amarone della Valpolicella. It almost always occurs as a blend in the red wines of the Valpolicella but is occasionally made as a mono-varietal wine under Verona’s IGP appellation.
“A bright and fun nose of summer fruits, with lots of vibrant and juicy berry flavours. Red fruit predominantly, although a backbone of black fruit and chocolate runs through it. Attractive, fresh, authentic.”
“A lighter style of Amarone that leans on impressive fragrance and a fresh, floral personality. Still young and a little closed, but plenty of violets and rose petal on the nose to compliment a subtle note of black fruit. A firm, structured palate holds up a graceful curtain of forest fruits and sweet spice. Elegant and deftly balanced, it’s an unassuming and authentic contender, but unmistakably Amarone.”
“Restrained nose gradually reveals layers of black fruit and damp earth. Takes a while to open out but when it does, it seduces with elegant floral aromas, ethereal fragrances of violets, spice and chocolate. Thunderous waves of blackcurrant compote engulf a robust, tannic structure. Matched by prominent acidity and alcohol to ensure a top wine and a triumph for the Mazzi family.”
