Download Cellar Notes (pdf)
Corvina is widely grown on the Veneto shore of Lake Garda, and is blended with Rondinella and Molinara to produce Valpolicella. Clearly echoing the vintage, Marinella's Superiore brims with brisk red-berried and cherry perfume while on the palate, the wine's momentary indulgence with the still swollen Amarone pomace has contributed a seductive, weighty core to this classic Venetian wine. Matured for 18 months in 14hl cherry wood barrels to preserve the wine's integrity. Excellent with spicy, chickpea/humous, middle eastern dishes.
