Description:
The Merlot/Corvina has a lovely, vibrant colour and a ripe, fresh nose. The wine’s cherry blossom perfume, characteristic of great Corvina from Verona, mingles with a soft, blackberry fruit. Soft and attractive on the palate, it has sufficient weight to partner a wide range of pasta and rice dishes, particularly the risotto dishes for which this area is known. These wines are made by Matt Thomson, at the Cantina di Monteforte. Verona’s ‘Ponte Pietra’ (stone bridge) dates back to Roman times. The vine, however, has been planted on the hills outside of Verona for much longer than this bridge has spanned the Adige River. This fresh, vibrant and easy drinking wine is firmly within this long tradition of Veronese viniculture.
