The grapes
Corvinone
Best known in Valpolicella, Veneto
A close cousin of Corvina in name, but a separate grape. Larger berries and a little more structure and colour. It adds body and dark cherry depth to Valpolicella and Amarone blends.
Rondinella
Best known in Valpolicella, Veneto
A Valpolicella blending grape that plays a supporting role to Corvina. It adds colour, red fruit and herbal notes. Its berries dry well without rotting, which makes it useful for Amarone and Recioto, and it is rarely bottled on its own.
Where it's from
Veneto
Italy
Home to Prosecco, Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone. The region produces vast quantities of wine — much of it ordinary, some of it extraordinary. Amarone della Valpolicella (dried grapes, intense, powerful) is one of Italy's truly great wines.
