Corvina
Filter
Corvina is an Italian wine grape that is mainly grown in northeast Italy in the region of Veneto. This variety is also known as “Corvina Veronese,” “Cassabria,” or “Cruina”. Corvina is often blended with other varieties to create red wines with soft fruit flavors. Corvina creates light red colored wines with a light almond aroma. The finishing note is recognized with a tart cherry taste. Winemakers in parts of Valpolicella will use barrel aging to give the taste of the wine more depth. In order to produce fruit, the Corvina vines must be trained so it can produce more fruit. This Italian variety is sometimes confused with Corvione, a red grape variety used to create straw wines. DNA evidence shows that Corvina and Corvione are actually two separate varieties, and Corvina is actually related to the Rondinella grape variety from Venice. The thick skins on this wine grape makes it a candidate for the appassimento method of drying grapes to create wines such as Recioto. This gives the wine a deeper flavor of raisin and dried fruits. Corvina is often blended with other varieties such as Rondinella and the Valpolicella Blend. Corvina is known for its light color and tannins, and is more likely to be paired with other wine grape varieties. Corvina pairs perfectly with barbecue pork, mushroom soup, or a beef quesadilla.

Ruby red in color, this Amarone Riserva offers dense and smokey aromas of dark cherries, raisins, chocolate, and anise, framed by fruity tannins and a spicy finish. With the level of complexity and balance that this wine shows, it will evolve beautifully for 10+ years.

Dense garnet, with a nose of walnut husks, toasted black pepper, sour cherries and ash. Smooth and soft on the palate, with a full body and ripe, silky tannins balanced by zesty acidity. Lovely fruit with an extremely long, nutty aftertaste.

Signature Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 79% Cabernet Sauvignon and nearly equal portions of Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Merlot.
The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon has been a foundational wine for more than five decades. It is a benchmark for the long-lived hillside wines of the Napa Valley, full of structure and aging potential, yet seductively forward in its concentrated varietal character. The dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill produce small, intensely flavorful grapes. Crop thinning allows for full, even ripening and elevates flavor complexity.
Review:
Nine different Cabernet clones joined forces for the 2022 Signature, a wine designated in what the winery offers only in extraordinary vintages. The final blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, includes Petit Verdot, Malbec, and Merlot in small quantities. Luscious, as expected, a bath of puréed black cherries and milk chocolate match with teeth-coating plum skin tannins. Spiced red tea, Italian herbs, and a trace of cinnamon-cedar are left behind on the long, silky finish. - The Tasting Panel, July/August 2025
