Product Highlights
Veneto, Italy - Time spent in oak barrels of various sizes and ages gives the wine a velvety and round texture that's simply unforgettable, even long after it's left the palate. Plum, fig, and jammy notes call for hearty dishes such as Osso Buco, but sharp cheeses such as parmesan.

OVERVIEW
Geography
Varietal / Type
The Corvina grape is the dominant red variety of Italy’s Veneto region, where it’s used to make bright, fruity Bardolino and velvety, cherry-scented Valpolicella wines.
In contrast to these relatively light-bodied wines, Corvina grapes are also used in the production of muscular Amarone wines. Amarone is made using the appassimento method, in which the grapes are dried for three months or more before being pressed, resulting in a highly concentrated juice that is vinified into dry, high-alcohol wine.
