About Castelnuovo Barbarossa Corvina
The Castelnuovo Barbarossa Corvina opens with inviting aromas of ripe sour cherry, dried rose petals, and a whisper of bitter almond characteristic of the Corvina grape. On the palate, vibrant red fruit flavors are framed by a pleasantly grippy tannin structure and a lively acidity that speaks to its Veronese heritage. The finish is clean and moderately persistent, leaving a bittersweet note of cherry skin and a hint of spice.
