| Historia |
In the past, Corvinone's vine was mistakenly considered a Corvine biotype, Corvinone has only recently gained its independence (1993), thus rendering the general term Corvine, which was used to denote this "family" of vines. Its name could come from the almost black color that refers to the plumage of the crow, or from the "corba", the basket with which the grape was transported, a name that also returns in various local synonyms ("corbina"). |
