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.
