Corvina is a type of wine grape used to make wines of the same name or a key constituent of Valpolicella wines, along with Rondinella. It can also be called Corvina Veronese, and it grows mostly in Northeast Italy.
On the nose you will get aromas of mushroom, wet leaves and earth. A sour cherry type of taste with low tannins. Acidity will tingle on the top of your tongue and roof of your mouth. Note that when Corvina is blended with Cab and/or Merlot, you get a unique tasting wine. See my review on Zenato Alanero and compare this wine to that for some adventure.
