The Grapes
Corvina – Rondinella are two grape varieties commonly blended together in Italy, most famously in Valpolicella wines.
Corvina plays the main role usually, with Rondinella as backup, creating a typically light-colored, medium-bodied wine with noticeable astringency on the palate.
The traditional Valpolicella Blend consists of three grape varieties: Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The first two are usually used in the highest proportion, as Molinara tends to be fairly nondescript and is prone to oxidization. Corvina, when used as the main variety, gives its famous sour-cherry character, as well as body and structure. Rondinella – a variety that became popular in the 1960s for its high yields – is best employed in smaller amounts for the fresh, herbal notes it imparts on Valpolicella wines.
The Corvina – Rondinella blend is also permitted in the Bardolino DOC, and under the region's less discerning IGT title. Also, Corvina and Rondinella's thick skins mean they can both be air-dried in the traditional appassimento style, making them suitable for use in the prestigious Amarone della Valpolicella wines.
