Many wines from the Veneto Region in Italy are blends of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara.
Corvina is the most important grape for Amarone and it is blended with Rondinella, and Molinara.
Corvina grape has a dark color and gives body and structure.
The Valpolicella blend consists of minimum 45% Corvina.
Molinara is used to add acidity and Rondinella for the high sugar.
Ripasso is made blending Valpolicella and Amarone wines.
Recioto is also a blend, but the Rondinella grape is preferred due to the high sugar concentration.
Bardolino contains less Corvina and more Rondinella and Molinara, resulting in a lighter wine.
Alcohol can be addictive. Drink in moderation.
