What does wine from the Rondinella grape taste like?

The Rondinella is often added to blends to deliver juicy, light cherry fruit. It provides a fruity taste and has a low tannin content. The wines made from this grape are slightly dry red wines; Amarone style. One of the main reasons why the Rondinella is often blended with the Corvina grape is that it always gives a deep color to the wine and is above average resistant to diseases. It also gives the wine more body.
