Marchesi Biscardo Corvina
$17.99
CORVINA is the main grape for the Valpolicella and the Amarone wines. It owes its name to the dark
color of its skins, that are black as the feathers of a beautiful CROW! Poetically in Verona (the
romantic city of Romeo and Juliette) we say that Valpolicella is the valley that “flies”, because every
grape variety carries the name of a bird!!!
Creating the CORVINA di Verona was for Marchesi Biscardo a very fun project. His intention was to bring to
the table of his friends a wine capable to reveal all the characteristics of a Valpolicella Superiore in a more
friendly and joyful style. Basically, in a world saturated by big opulent wines, always voted towards the false
concept that “ the bigger is better”, in this Corvina, he wants to resume the original Valpolicella style.
A wine friendly on the palate, easy to drink, always capable to steal a smile from anybody that
approaches a glass. Fun to drink on its own yet perfect with any type of food, it pleases talkative and
noisy crowds as well as refined and solitary palates.
Best served at 60°-64° F.
