THE WINE
Amarone Classico Bertani It is a timeless wine, an expression of a unique style that Bertani has always been followed with dedication. A classic style that does not need to change, because it is always relevant. Amarone is made from Corvina and Rondinella grapes grown on the hills of Tenuta Novare, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, in vineyards dedicated solely to grapes for drying. Produced by Bertani end since 1958, Amarone Classico Bertani "Significa" in English means "it means" or "means." perfect harmony between time, nature, and man: to this we dedicate our know-how and our passion, with a long wait and great care. The resting of the grapes takes place on “aréle,” the bamboo racks, according to the traditional production method. Fermentation occurs in cement and the refinement In large barrels for at least six years, it stabilizes its structure, making it one of the longest-lived red wines in the world.
A respect for nature that means, first of all, continuing to choose a place like... Tenuta Novare, the true soul of our Amarone.
A respect for our grapes with a method of natural drying or, as we prefer to say, resting in the drying room, which has always rejected any type of artificial conditioning. Not out of a "philosophical" choice, but from the proven belief that only in this way can we obtain great and unique Amarone, where elegance always prevails over power.
Respect for our wines to allow them to fully develop all their qualitative potential. The musts are entrusted to slow fermentations, sometimes exceeding 50 days, in concrete tanks. This is a courageous choice, full of risks, supported by the belief that only in this way can we achieve high levels of superior alcohol and glycerin, which guarantee the richness and elegance of the aromas. Thus, aging never lasts less than six years in Slavonian oak barrels and another 12 months in the bottle. A slow but valuable journey to help our Amarone develop that aromatic heritage of great elegance, those fundamental characteristics for us of extraordinary longevity.
