Corvina is the principal red grape found around the shores of Italy's Lake Garda making joyously quaffable Valpolicella and Bardolino. In these wines it is youthful, fresh and generally fairly light–bodied, brimming with raspberry and redcurrant flavours. But when picked late in the season, off lower–cropping vines from the best sites, and especially when these grapes are partly dried, as they are in the famous winemaking methods of Recioto and Amarone, Corvina's personality changes completely into a wonderfully intense, powerful and raisiny wine that can develop very well with age.
I enjoyed the wine in so far as it is well rounded - the taste of black fruit evident - not sure about the liquorice though. All in all for the price a pleasant easy drinking wine.

Super ripe very smooth dry red, with just a hint of Cherries in that Italian style and You are able to drink this wine with or without food, Very good value at $20.
We've been fans of their Syrah and Chardonnay for some time and this is another go-to product we'll add to the list.
Light in colour, but plenty of depth and flavour and pleasingly dry.
Highly recommended.
