Corvina grapes can be found in the Veneto region of northern Italy. Corvina is a native Italian grape. It maintains strong roots with its heritage and is a prized grape in Italy. It is also often referred to as Corvina Veronese or Corvina Nera.
Corvina grapes are small, dark and thick skinned. Although difficult to cultivate, Corvina grapes are highly prized for their high acidity and tart taste. Corvina grapes produce light to medium body wines with a light crimson colouring.
Aromas and flavours are light and fragrant, often resembling sour cherries, strawberries and nutty almonds.
Corvina grapes produce ideal red wines to pair with seafood dishes such as prawns or grilled fish. Often, Italian locals use Corvina based wines to create a tasty, authentic risotto.
