Tasting notes and reviews for rondinella wines.
Rondinella
Rondinella is a type of Italian wine grape. The Veneto region of northern Italy accounts for nearly all of the total global growing area of 2,481 hectares, and the grapes are used in wines from the Valpolicella and Bardolino wine regions. Rondinella, along with Corvinone and Molinara, is always a secondary constituent in these wines blended with Corvina. The grape has very neutral flavors, but farmers like it because of its high yields. The vine is disease resistant and produces grapes that, while not generally high in sugar, dry out well enough to be used in the production of Valpolicella straw wines like Recioto and Amarone.
