Tasting notes:
Negrar Corvina winery. Corvina is the queen of Veronese red grapes, typical of Valpolicella. This wine is ruby red with garnet reflections. On the nose its spicy with notes of vanilla and hints of black cherry. It is soft and round with sweet tannins that blend well with the wine’s texture. The finish is long, ending with spicy tones.
Food Match:
Great with grilled red meat.
