Bertani Description
Experience the elegance of Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, an iconic wine crafted from 80% Corvina Veronese and 20% Rondinella grapes. Grown in the renowned Valpolicella Classica region at Tenuta Novare Estate, these 20-year-old vines thrive in limestone and basalt soil. Traditional winemaking techniques, including 120 days of drying and 7 years of aging in Slavonian oak barrels, result in a complex, balanced, and long-lasting wine with a 15% alcohol content.
Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico boasts an intense red hue with captivating garnet highlights. The nose is dominated by classic notes of plum, cherry, and morello, accompanied by tea leaves, licorice, and spices. On the palate, savor the harmonious blend of red berries, sweetened by delicate spicy undertones, perfectly balanced with the acidity and tannins.
This versatile Amarone pairs exceptionally well with rich and robust dishes, making it the ideal choice for hearty meats, game, and aged cheeses. Indulge in the perfect combination of flavors by serving it with osso buco, braised short ribs, or an aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. For a vegetarian option, consider pairing it with a mushroom risotto or eggplant Parmesan.
Antonio Galloni: 91 Points
Deceptively fresh and floral as earthy minerals give way to savory cherry sauce and hints of camphor. This is silky, almost creamy in feel, with ripe red fruits and spices giving way to hints of licorice and tobacco. A coating of fine tannin lingers, along with notes of cheek-puckering tart blackberry and bitter bakers chocolate.
