Rondinella
Valpolicella hills; drought-resistant, productive and early.
Known as: Rondinella
Rondinella is a Valpolicella stalwart, the sturdy lattice-work member of the region's Corvina-led blend, prized for staying healthy and ripe.
It gives red-cherry fruit and structure, and in Amarone production supports the richness that comes from the appassimento drying process.
For the buyer, Rondinella is the dependable workhorse of northern Italy's most loved reds.
