Corvinoni
Filter
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.

Saumaize Michelin Pouilly-Fuisse Ronchevats is made from 100 percent Chardonnay.
Powerful and warm wine offering quince and sweet fruit aromas. Thick and toasty. Rich and well textured.
Review:
"The 2020 Pouilly-Fuissé Les Ronchevats, which comes from Triassic clay soils, has a slightly more honeyed bouquet and as such, maybe does not quite transfer the terroir as much as the Domaine's other cuvées. The palate is actually better than the nose, quite saline and energetic, very focused with a lovely bitter edge emerging towards the finish. Maybe the aromatics will up their game in bottle? Give it a couple of years.

There are afternoons with indigo skies when we approach one of the oldest plots of the estate. Our stroll from the winery follows a line of cypress trees to the corner of a path. This angle gives its name to our most exceptional vineyard.
El Picón is the great symbol and the most profound reality. The sum of enigmas in a beautiful, pure fruit. The wine of silence and intimate joy, an eternal taste in which generations, labours and nature’s favors culminate.
Grapes from the plot of El Picón, one of the oldest at the Pago de los Capellanes estate in Pedrosa de Duero.
22 months in 225-litre, extra-fine grain French oak barrels dried over 60 months.
Pago de los Capellanes Finca El Picón 2018 is a mature red wine with intense aromas of red and black fruit from the forest accompanied by deep balsamic notes and spicy touches provided by aging. In the mouth it is meaty, deep and very balanced. A medium to full-bodied wine with vibrant acidity and fine, velvety tannins. The finish is long and very persistent.
1.6 hectares of clay loam soil with surface gravel. Very poor fertility and very low vineyard yields.
