2008 - Amarone Classico

Production area: Valpolicella Classica, Tenuta Novare ad Arbizzano di Negrar.
Soil: Calcareous and basaltic.
Vitigni: 80% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella.
Winemaking: Traditional natural method. Left to dry on arèle (traditional bamboo cane racks): 120 days. Crushing in the first days of January. Fermentation in concrete vats. Ageing for 6-7 years in 60-hl Slavonian oak barrels.
Style: A wine that strongly conveys its identity, with personality and recognisability. It is a distinctive Amarone with a classic style, where elegance prevails over power. Complex, balanced and well-orchestrated.
A wine with an invaluable and extraordinary longevity. An intense red colour, with garnet nuances. Typical and marked notes of plum, cherry and morello cherry on the nose, followed by a wide variety of tones: nuts, tea leaves, liquorice and spices. On the palate, overtones of red berry fruit, softened by velvety notes of vanilla, in perfect balance with the acidity and tannic notes.
Pairings: It can be paired with red meat, game and mature cheese, but it is also perfect at the end of a meal and as a “conversation” wine.

Bertani

Known as one of the best regions in Italy for vineyards, the Verona area is a varied land with a long winemaking tradition that can boast the highest number of DOC wines in Italy today. It produces wines that are famous all over the world, such as Valpolicella, Soave, and Amarone. Bertani was the winery that first understood the value of this area and the great opportunities it offered for promoting Italian wines in the world. Starting by improving quality in the vineyard and with a winemaking culture learnt in France, it knew how to propose wine from Italy, and especially from Verona, abroad. Right from the start it grasped the importance of these places and the characteristics of the different soils, in fact today it owns vineyards in all the main production areas in the Verona province.
