Tasting Notes: This vibrant and balanced Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena delivers a profile rich in cherry and wild strawberry notes, beautifully complemented by fragrant accents of dried thyme, lavender, and a hint of paprika. The wine is medium-bodied with a supple texture, offering a mix of sweet dark fruits and savory herbs that lead to a smooth, elegant finish. A notable vibrant acidity ensures a fresh and harmonious experience, setting it apart from heavier styles and making it a versatile pairing option.
Estate History: Founded in 1857 by brothers Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani in Quinto di Valpantena, the winery has a legacy of innovation and excellence in the Veneto region. Gaetano, after studying modern viticulture techniques with Dr. Jules Guyot in France, was among the first in Italy to introduce quality-focused vineyard practices and to bottle the estate's own wines. Bertani is a pioneer in the production of modern Amarone, having produced one of the first official vintages in the 1950s, a style that has become nearly synonymous with their name and a benchmark for traditional, long-aging Amarone. The winery's commitment to quality earned it royal accreditation, and its wines have graced significant historical events, such as the coronation banquet of King George VI in 1937.
