List of grape varieties

Corvinone Veronese is a red wine variety that is almost exclusively native to Veneto . It is robust and productive and is often offered as a blend with the regional grape varieties Corvina Veronese , Rondinella , Molinara and others. Wines that may contain Corvinone Veronese include the Valpolicella , Bardolino , Ripasso , Recioto and Amarone . In 2000, a planted vineyard area of 95 hectares was raised.

It was long assumed that the Corvina and Corvinone grape varieties are close relatives, which explains the similarity of the names. However, DNA tests showed that the two grape varieties developed largely independently of one another.

Synonyms

The grape variety is also known under the following names: Corba, Corgnola, Corniola, Corvina, Corvina Comune, Corvina Doppia, Corvina Gentile, Corvina Nera, Corvina Nostrana, Corvina Pelosa, Corvina Reale, Corvina Rizza, Corvine Nostrana, Croetto, Crovina, Cruina, Cruina Zervei De Gatto, Curvina, Curvinessa, Martinenga, Sgorbera .

Ampelographic varietal characteristics

In ampelography , the habitus is described as follows:

  • The shoot tip is open. It is lightly woolly hairy and mottled pink. The yellowish-green young leaves are slightly hairy.
  • The medium-sized to large leaves are five-lobed and moderately curved. The stalk bay is lyra-shaped and the ends overlap. The blade is finely serrated.
  • The slightly conical grape is shouldered, large and dense. The oblong, oval berries are large and plum-like, dark purple in color. The skin of the berry is thick. The aroma of the berry is slightly astringent.

The variety ripens about 30 days after the Gutedel and is therefore considered to ripen late. Corvinone 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.
