Corvinone

Corvinone is an Italian red grape variety primarily grown in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. It is characterized by large berries that produce wines with deep ruby color, medium to full body, and flavors of dark cherries, spices, and sometimes herbaceous notes with moderate tannins. Corvinone is most famously used as a key component in Amarone della Valpolicella and Valpolicella wines, often blended with Corvina and other local varieties.

Zenato Valpolicella Superiore

Zenato

While Amarone gets all the glory (and high prices) from Veneto, smart wine drinkers know that Valpolicella Superiore offers some of Italy's best red wine values. Zenato's version showcases the classic blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone in a wine that's both traditionally styled and modern in its approachability. The 'Superiore' designation means this wine has been aged longer than basic Valpolicella and has a slightly higher alcohol content, resulting in more depth and complexity. Zenato, a family-owned winery established in 1960, has perfected the balance between tradition and innovation. This wine delivers the bright cherry fruit and almond notes that Valpolicella is known for, but with enough structure to pair with a wide range of foods. It's the Italian red that belongs on every dinner table – versatile, authentic, and remarkably affordable for the quality.
