MA.GI.CO GARDA CORVINA

Corvina is the most recent of our company’s products. A new wine in every sense. The potential of the Corvina Veronese grapes from two different areas (Castelnuovo and Lazise) expressed in it’s dimension of freshness and drinkability. A special vinification technique which maintains the pale colour typical of the Corvina Veronese, enhanced by white bottles, has been able to create a “red wine”, intended to be drunk at the temperature of a white in order to roundly appreciate it’s singularity and simplicity.
