Wine Notes: "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: This wine had a sweet cherry aroma. You could taste the tannins of the wines and the taste reminded me of sweet tea. This wine had a sweet finish to it. I did not try this wine with food.
