Amarone Classico Bertani is a timeless wine, in the unique style that Bertani has always striven care to preserve. A style that is classic, yet always up to date and therefore never needs to change. It is made from the Corvina and Rondinella grapes that grow on the slopes around Villa Novare in the Valpolicella Classica area, in vineyards where only grapes intended for appassimento are grown. Produced by Bertani since as long ago as 1958, Amarone Classico Bertani is a perfect example of total harmony between time, nature and man, and to it we devote all our skill and enthusiasm, all our patience and loving care. The natural appassimento (semidrying process) of the grapes on the “aréle” (cane mats) and the ageing in large casks for no less than six years give this wine a stable and long-lasting structure, making it one of the longest-living wines in the world.

Complete description
Vintage Description:
The wine opens with aromas of red plums, red cherries, and raspberries, cocoa powder, tea, and violets. On the palate, it is earthy, with notes of tobacco and dried red and black fruits, which blend well with herbs, robust spices, and elegant tannins. All leading to a fresh acidity that brings the finish to life. (Jeff Porter - Wine Enthusiast, 1st Sep 2023)wine:
