Details
We love an Italian red blend, and this 'Rosso' from a blend of vineyards from across the Veneto (in northern Italy) ticks all the right boxes. It melds local varieties Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara to result in a silky palate of cranberry, blackberry, rose petal tea and black pepper. Fleshy, gently spiced and fresh, it's the ideal 'weekday red'.

Farina Winery, a beloved establishment in the Valpolicella area of the Veneto region in northern Italy, boasts a legacy spanning generations. Founded by the Farina family in the early 1900s, this winery remains rooted in their passion for winemaking, blending traditional methods with a touch of innovation. The estate spans over 80 acres of vineyards, meticulously tended to produce exquisite grapes that form the heart of their diverse wine collection. Today cousins Claudio and Elena Farina manage the estate. The winery's commitment to quality and familial warmth creates an inviting atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for wine enthusiasts seeking an authentic Italian experience. Their repertoire showcases an array of varietals ranging from the classic and esteemed Pinot Grigio and Valpolicella to the robust and flavourful Amarone. These are wines perfect for celebrating life's special moments.

Pairing guide
This Corvina blend from Farina Rosso offers a masterclass in the winemaker’s art; it brings elegant and lighter Corvina variety grapes together with others, creating a wine that’s more than the sum of its parts. We reckon Corvina-based wines always work best with lighter, sunnier Italian dishes - we’re talking red capsicum bruschetta, pork chops with sundried tomatoes, eggplant parmigiana and pasta pomodoro - but it’s also a great wine for pairing with pizza, roast poultry, stuffed mushrooms and anything with plenty of prosciutto.
