The top of the hill called La Grola has been dedicated to this red for over forty years. The vineyard is a triangular-shaped, limestone-white plot of land surrounded by cypresses and overlooking Lake Garda just a few kilometres away. Only perfectly ripe Corvina is used to produce a deep and highly sophisticated wine, where fruit, spices and balsamic notes blend perfectly. When tasted, the wine expresses texture and lightness, warmth and dynamism, richness and simplicity, as only truly great wines can.

Corvina Veronese wines, hailing from Italy's Veneto region, are celebrated for their diverse expressions and exceptional quality. Primarily featured in renowned wines like Valpolicella and Amarone della Valpolicella, Corvina Veronese grapes contribute to a spectrum of flavors and styles. Valpolicella wines, blending Corvina with grapes like Rondinella and Molinara, offer a delightful range from light and fruity to more complex and structured varieties. These wines charm with vibrant cherry notes, balanced acidity, and gentle tannins, making them versatile companions for various Italian dishes, from pasta to pizza.

Amarone della Valpolicella stands as a pinnacle of Corvina Veronese winemaking, showcasing the grape's capacity for depth and richness. In this style, grapes undergo a meticulous drying process, intensifying their flavors and sugars. The resulting wine is opulent and full-bodied, boasting intricate layers of dried fruits, dark berries, and spices. With its velvety texture, firm tannins, and lingering finish, Amarone pairs exquisitely with hearty fare like grilled meats, aged cheeses, and robust stews, cementing Corvina Veronese wines as timeless treasures in the world of Italian viticulture.
