But be warned, it's a very refined wine with all the beautiful characteristics of an Amarone. It's a blend of 80 percent Corvina Veronese and 20 percent Rondinella.

Their history of over 150 years is filled with groundbreaking initiatives and royal accreditation. While Bertani respects their past, they strive for innovation, utilizing cutting-edge techniques and equipment, combined with extensive experience and a deep respect for tradition to deliver wines of uncompromising quality.\n\n\n \nThis Amarone is produced in the hills of Valpantena, north of Verona. The soils are calcareous marl in the east and calcareous clay in the west, rich in iron. The vines are vertically stepped and Guyot-trained, with a planting density of 2,024 plants per hectare.

In mid-January, the grapes are destemmed and crushed, after which fermentation begins, initially at a temperature of 3 to 5 degrees Celsius, reaching 22 degrees Celsius in the final stages. This Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena is then aged for 30 months in Slovenian oak. This is followed by a further 6 months of bottle aging in the Bertani cellars.\n\n\n \nThe result is a stunning wine. The aroma reveals hints of cherries and plums, along with subtle nuances of tobacco, almond, vanilla, and jam.

Their 220-hectare vineyards are covered in calcareous marl soils and are dedicated exclusively to the production of Amarone.\n\n\n \nAfter careful hand-harvesting and bunch selection, the grapes are taken to the drying rooms and laid out in a single layer on bamboo racks. They remain there for approximately 120 days, losing up to 60 percent of their water content. In mid-January, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. This is followed by maceration at 4 to 5 degrees Celsius for approximately 20 days. Slow fermentation then begins for approximately 30 days in concrete vats at a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.
