Corvinoni, or Corvinone, is relatively new to wine lovers as it was formally added in 1993 by the National Catalogue of Varieties of Vine Wine. Corvinoni gives a nose of perfume and is fruity or spicy on the pallet. Corvinoni is full-bodied with a good amount of tannins. Corvinoni is often used to produce Amarone and Recioto Valpolicella wines. Corvinoni is known for the large leaves and grape clusters with compact generous berries. There are two biotypes of this grape, Corbinon and Cruinon. The size of the grape, in addition to the leaves, are different as well as the different aging times. The name Corvinoni is derived from the rich black color that is reminiscent of the inky dark color of a raven’s feathers. It could also be derived from the corba that was transferred to the grape baskets during heavy harvesting. The Corvinoni grape does exceptionally well in stony soils, hilly regions with considerable exposure. Corvinoni is sensitive to botrytis and other diseases like sour rot. It can also be susceptible to mildew and spine desiccation.

Dr. Loosen Riesling Eiswein is made from 100 percent Riesling.
This vibrant, racy dessert wine conjures flavors of densely packed pear, apple and guava, with an intense, nervy edge in the aroma. It is luscious, silky and juicy on the palate, with bright acidity giving it a crisp, dynamic finish.
Review:
This is extremely rich, yet the acidity keeps it on its toes. The palate is rich, sporting rhubarb and apricot flavors that are laced by hints of earth, coriander seed and honeyed oolong tea. It has an appealing sweet tart character that takes over and is matched by super suave texture. Shows incredible persistence through the long finish. Drink now through 2050.
