Amarone della Valpolicella Classico D.O.C.G. - Bertani

The Bertani family has produced wine in the Valpolicella area since 1857.  They have historically believed in the individual territories of the Veronese zone, from Valpolicella Classica to Valpantena, from Soave to Lugana. An approach that has been respectful both in the vineyards and in the cellar over the decades, to develop a style that has been rethought over the years, thus staying up-to-date without ever giving into compromises. The production philosophy combines innovation with respect for tradition. For more than a century and a half they have made wines that are recognizable for their identity, wines with a clear and unmistakable stylistic profile.

The 20 years old Corvina Veronese and Rondinella vines for Amarone Classico wine grow in limestone and basalt soil the vineyards of the Tenuta Novare winery in the Negrar Valley in the Valpolicella Classico production area. The wine was made according to the classical Amarone method. First the grapes were dried in traditional drying rooms on racks for 120 days. After the vinification the wine was aged for 7 years in 60-hectolitre Slavonian oak barrels followed by at least 1 year in the bottle.
