Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is lightly hairy and sometimes carmine-red. The yellowish-green young leaves are slightly hairy and speckled bronze (anthocyanin spots).
  • The large leaves are five-lobed and moderately deeply indented (see also the article leaf shape ). The stalk bay is lyra-shaped and the ends overlap. The blade is finely serrated. The leaf surface, also known as the leaf blade, is blistered and coarse.
  • The cylindrical grape is elongated, large and dense. The round berries are large and bluish-black in color. The skin of the berry is thick.

The variety ripens about 30 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen late. Corvina Veronese is a variety of the noble grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). It has hermaphroditic flowers and is therefore self-fruiting. In viticulture , the economic disadvantage of not having to grow male plants that produce yield is avoided.
