Rondinella

About this grape variety

A regional Veneto red grape, Rondinella is one of the traditional blending partners in Valpolicella, Amarone and Recioto. It contributes deep colour, body and balanced acidity to blends, supporting the more aromatic Corvina at the heart of the lot. The variety dries well — a key requirement for the appassimento technique used in Amarone — and grows reliably even in poor years. Rarely bottled solo; its role is structural rather than expressive.
