CORTE ADAMI Valpolicella DOC
Tasting Notes
The young soul of Valpolicella. Bright and pale ruby red in colour, with aromas of cherry and red fruits in the nose, enriched in floral and spicy nuances. On the palate it is soft and fresh, fragrant and savoury with never aggressive tannins. Medium-bodied and good persistence.

Corvina
The key varietal of Valpolicella, Corvina wines tend to be bright red and lighter in structure. Corvina's high level of acidity and distinctive cherried, herbaceous flavours are essential to the character of the wine.
Corvinone
A grape very similar to Corvina, but with better characteristics of resistance to water stress and tendency to dry.
Rondinella
Rarely grown outside the Veneto region, Rondinella's key attribute is its prolific and reliable yields., Rondinella is hardly ever produced as a varietal wine. Rather, it is used to add herbal flavours to Corvina-based wines and to flesh out the blend.Vineyard Notes
