Cantina di Monteforte Clivus Corvina Veneto

Veneto, Italy | 12.5% ABV | Corvina

From the sun-dappled hills of northeastern Italy, this elegant red showcases the Corvina grape—an iconic variety best known for its role in Valpolicella and Amarone, here given a lighter, more playful expression. Produced by Cantina di Monteforte, a respected cooperative in the heart of Veneto, this IGT-designated bottling steps outside the strict rules of DOC/DOCG to deliver something vivid, vibrant, and refreshingly unpretentious.

On the nose, it offers bright aromas of sour cherry, pomegranate, and wild raspberry, underscored by a subtle herbal edge and that signature Corvina bitterness—a delicate, food-loving tension that lingers on the finish. Light-to-medium in body, with soft tannins and a clean, dry frame, it’s a joyful companion for pasta with tomato sauce, roasted vegetables, or simply a quiet glass at the end of a day.

An approachable and expressive Italian red—true to its roots, yet easygoing and versatile.
