Corvina

Red wine grape · reported 2009–2010

Further reading: UC Davis Foundation Plant Services

Corvina is an Italian variety from the Veneto, the principal grape of Valpolicella and Amarone. Its California record is the thinnest in this atlas: a single crop year, 2009 to 2010, in a single crush district, with nothing reported before or since. It is a light-colored, high-acid red typically dried for Amarone's concentrated style. In California it registers as essentially a one-time appearance rather than an established planting.

What is published

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Corvina, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
