Grape:- Valpolicella Blend:-

The grapes for this wine are developed in grape plantations arranged in the Eastern morenic slopes of Lake Garda. The Valpolicella Blend depends on three indigenous red-wine grape assortments developed in the Veneto area in Italy’s north east, Corvina/Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara . The Corvinone or Corvina grape is viewed as a particular grape and is permitted to give up to 50 percent of the wine. 35% Rondinella is utilized principally to add shading and body to the mix and offers some natural notes which further complements the delicate heat of Corvina. Extra tannins and new corrosives are given by Molinara.
