Exhibits a characteristic wine-like bouquet, rich and persistent, featuring prominent notes of ripe cherries that linger with each swirl of the glass.On the palate, it reveals a velvety texture, balanced by a subtle bitterness that recalls the essence of fresh cherries and bitter almonds. The complexity of the flavors makes for a refined, slightly edgy finish.

The origin & the Evolution of Wine

Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes serve as the foundation for some of Verona's most renowned wines, including Valpolicella, Ripasso, and Amarone, all of which have gained significant international acclaim.

These grapes are grown on the picturesque hills surrounding Verona, at altitudes ranging from 150 to 400 meters above sea level. Harvesting is done entirely by hand, taking place in the early morning or late evening to avoid the harsh midday heat, which could damage the fruit. This careful timing ensures that the grapes remain cool, preserving their integrity and preventing premature fermentation during transport. Following harvest, the grapes undergo a drying process to concentrate their sugars. For Amarone, this occurs in specialized drying chambers under strictly controlled conditions. The grape skins play a vital role in this process, as their compounds contribute to the wine's tannin structure, color, and overall intensity of flavor. During the drying period, which typically lasts about 120 days, the grapes' juices become more concentrated, and their acidity is metabolized, leading to a polymerization of the tannins, which enhances the balance of the final wine. This process also results in significant weight loss: Corvina grapes lose 35-45%, Molinara grapes 30-40%, and Rondinella grapes 27-40%. In late January or early February, after the drying phase, the grapes are crushed and subjected to a slow fermentation process at low temperatures, lasting between 30 and 50 days. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is initially aged in stainless steel tanks before being transferred to small barrels (ranging from 20 to 50 hectoliters) for further refinement.
