Country: Italy
Grapes: Corvina, Rondinella
Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
A Veronese red built on the same Corvina and Rondinella as Valpolicella but bottled under the broader Veneto designation, which frees the producer from the appellation rulebook. Ripe red and dark cherry with a touch of dried fruit, soft herbal spice and the almond-skin twist the local varieties give, rounder and more approachable than the strict Valpolicella version. Uncomplicated in the best sense — a wine for the table on a weeknight.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
