THE WINE
Amarone Classico Bertani is a timeless wine, an expression of a unique style that Bertani has always 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 on the hills of Tenuta Novare, in the heart of the Classic Valpolicella, in vineyards dedicated solely to grapes for drying. Produced by Bertani end since 1958, Amarone Classico Bertani It means "it means." perfect harmony between time, nature, and man: to this we dedicate our craftsmanship and our passion, with a long wait and great care. The resting of the grapes takes place on the "aréle", the bamboo racks, according to the traditional production method. The 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 natural drying method 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 a proven conviction that only in this way can great and unique Amarone be obtained, 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. A courageous choice, full of risks, supported by the belief that only in this way can high levels of superior alcohol and glycerin be achieved, ensuring the richness and elegance of the aromas. Therefore, aging is never less than six years in Slavonian oak barrels and an additional 12 months in the bottle. A slow but precious journey to help our Amarone develop that aromatic heritage of great elegance, those fundamental characteristics that we consider extraordinary longevity.
