The Corvina and wine making

In northeastern parts of Italy, Corvina is widely planted and makes up the DOC, IGT and DOCG wines. Corvina makes up the majority but not the whole in Amarone, Valpolicella and Bardolino wines. A challenge is that the variety ripens very late which tends to be an issue to the farmers, but the thick skin of the grape protects it from rots which can affect wine quality. After picking the grapes from the farm, they are then spread on straw mats to concentrate flavors. Corvina wine is made by extracting the grape juice. The grape juice is then left to ferment for approximately 2-weeks at temperatures between 26-28 degrees. In order to develop quality, it's stored in barrels.
