Monte Tondo Corvina Veneto 2014

Wine: Monte Tondo

Varietal: Corvina Veneto

Region: Valpolicella

Country: Italy


Year: 2014

Price: $7.95

Shop Review: To create the classic Valpolicella cuvee, the noble Corvina is typically blended with other varietals such as Molinara and Rondinella. Monte Tondo’s Veneto IGT is the extraordinarily rare 100% Corvina wine. This Corvina is redolent of pie cherries, orange peel, potpourri, mint, and star anise. Brisk on the attack yet round and satisfying, it conveys suggestions of violets, white pepper, and ruby red grapefruit notes wrapped around a bright, vibrant core of sour cherry fruit. Bitter herbs and fine tannins join the wine’s chewy core of red fruits to make this an exceptionally versatile and table-ready red wine.

My Review: It has this aftertaste that would complement well with some meat. I would definitely like to try this again with a meal.

Did not have with food.
