Valpolicella Ripasso Valpantena DOC 2020
Bertani's Ripasso is a true classic. The grapes come from the hills around Valpantena and from the direct Valpolicella Classico area. The production at Bertani is carried out according to the old traditional method: The young, already fermented Valpolicella wine is blended with the skins, which have dried naturally in the meantime, giving it a richer and more concentrated aroma. It then undergoes a second so-called "ripasso" fermentation, which is triggered by the yeasts that are still sufficiently present in the skins.
Intense purple with violet reflections. On the nose, numerous dark red fruits such as blackberry, currant and ripe cherry. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, which, with the slightly increased residual sweetness, results in an exciting yet dry impression. Velvety and balanced, with quite a long finish. An ideal wine for the darker months and an excellent companion for strong and aromatic dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

“Ognisanti di Novare” Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC 2019
The grapes for this top-class Valpolicella Classico Superiore come from rather barren, chalky and terraced vineyards of the Tenuta Novare above the Ognisanti church. Here, wines of greater complexity, perfect structure and higher concentration are produced than in most other Valpolicella sites. Sparkling ruby garnet. Fragrant nose with beautiful overtones of sour cherry, dried flowers and white pepper. Perfectly balanced on the palate with firm tannin and wonderful spice and depth of fruit due to the wood ageing. A superior, winning wine from the core zone of Valpolicella. SUPERIORE.DE
"The complexity creeps up on you here. From a simple red-berry start, the aroma profile expands, adding notes of freshly squeezed oranges, cranberries and dry minerals. Medium-bodied with firm, silky tannins and a long, long finish. Bertani are the masters of this kind of restrained complexity, a rarity in the Veneto region." James Suckling

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2012
Only nine years after the harvest is this great wine released for sale: The slow drying of the fully ripe harvested grapes gives this cru its immense power and density as well as the extraordinary character with massive ripeness, fruit fullness, beautiful concentration and great elegance. On the palate, Bertani's Amarone demonstrates freshness, noble lightness and great dynamism. An exciting wine and for decades probably the most classic Amarone - the archetype, so to speak - of the entire appellation. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling, very intense ruby. Opens with light mineral notes, then after pickled cherries and rich red berry fruit, underlaid with fine blood orange in the background. Very precise in attack and course, elegant cherry fruit, grippy, dense tannin, opens in many layers, fine melting, now already easy to drink, very juicy, very great development potential." Falstaff
"Medium garnet red. There is so much going on in the nose! Fruits and dried spices. Next time I'm in an Indian restaurant with a good wine list, I want to try an Amarone. Really very complex and exciting. So fresh and clean! Dry finish. So very different from the commercial Amarone norm. Really quite exciting." Jancis Robinson
"The 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico takes its time opening in the glass, slowly evolving with a rich blend of crushed black cherries complemented by dusty violet florals and exotic spice. This coasts across the palate, silky-smooth yet with cooling minerality and brisk acids that add an energetic feel as a saturation of red fruits and fine tannins collect toward the close. The 2012 finishes lightly structured with a resonance of balsamic spice and bitter hints of cocoa that linger on and on - a fantastic and genuinely harmonious rendition of Bertani's Amarone Classico." Vinous
"Wow, what a complex bouquet, with a base of dried cherries spiced up with hints of mild coffee and walnuts. There are also dried flowers, wild herbs and spices such as tarragon and cloves. Subtle hints of dried banana and apricot. The palate is full-bodied, very smooth, intense and balanced, with firm, spicy tannins that drive everything forward. Long, long finish. It's nice to taste it now, but this wine, already almost ten years old, will be in your cellar for a long time." James Suckling

Only nine years after the harvest is this great wine released for sale: The slow drying of the fully ripe harvested grapes gives this cru its immense power and density as well as the extraordinary character with massive ripeness, fruit fullness, beautiful concentration and great elegance. On the palate, Bertani's Amarone demonstrates freshness, noble lightness and great dynamism. An exciting wine and for decades probably the most classic Amarone - the archetype, so to speak - of the entire appellation. SUPERIORE.DE
"Sparkling, very intense ruby. Opens with light mineral notes, then after pickled cherries and rich red berry fruit, underlaid with fine blood orange in the background. Very precise in attack and course, elegant cherry fruit, grippy, dense tannin, opens in many layers, fine melting, now already easy to drink, very juicy, very great development potential." Falstaff
"Medium garnet red. There is so much going on in the nose! Fruits and dried spices. Next time I'm in an Indian restaurant with a good wine list, I want to try an Amarone. Really very complex and exciting. So fresh and clean! Dry finish. So very different from the commercial Amarone norm. Really quite exciting." Jancis Robinson
"The 2012 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico takes its time opening in the glass, slowly evolving with a rich blend of crushed black cherries complemented by dusty violet florals and exotic spice. This coasts across the palate, silky-smooth yet with cooling minerality and brisk acids that add an energetic feel as a saturation of red fruits and fine tannins collect toward the close. The 2012 finishes lightly structured with a resonance of balsamic spice and bitter hints of cocoa that linger on and on - a fantastic and genuinely harmonious rendition of Bertani's Amarone Classico." Vinous
"Wow, what a complex bouquet, with a base of dried cherries spiced up with hints of mild coffee and walnuts. There are also dried flowers, wild herbs and spices such as tarragon and cloves. Subtle hints of dried banana and apricot. The palate is full-bodied, very smooth, intense and balanced, with firm, spicy tannins that drive everything forward. Long, long finish. It's nice to taste it now, but this wine, already almost ten years old, will be in your cellar for a long time." James Suckling

The winery, formerly owned by the Bertani family, reflects a piece of Italian, but above all Veronese wine history. Already in the founding year Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani distinguished themselves through their great enthusiasm and their pronounced progressive thinking. Very early on, the brothers in the Valpantena valley near Grezzana produced a drop so noble that it became a milestone for the entire Valpolicella area: The Secco Bertani. The innovative wine house quickly became known throughout Europe and received numerous awards. An example of the great success that has lasted to this day: at the coronation banquet for George VI of England in 1937, Soave Bertani was the only white wine to be served.
In the meantime, the wine house belongs to the Angelini family from the Marches. It owns historic wineries in the best wine-growing areas of Tuscany and has quickly turned Bertani into a strong brand with a modern look. Francesco Angelini opened up new perspectives for Bertani with investments in the cellar and vineyards. He also created synergies with the family wineries in Tuscany and Friuli. Emilio Pedron manages the fate of the winery, known for its wide range of high quality labels and for its clearly defined style full of character. The President and Managing Director has a great name in the Italian wine and business world.
From the gentle hills of Valpolicella, which have a very mild climate thanks to the proximity of Lake Garda and the Lessini Mountains, to Valpantena and Bardolino, to the eastern hills around Soave, the Bertani team knows the special characteristics of all the growing areas and knows how to make the most of them. The interplay between modern technology and the winemaker Christian Ridolfi, who has been working for the company since 1999, is perfect.
At the company's headquarters near Grezzana, in addition to Valpolicella varieties, wines from the Soave region and Lake Garda are bottled. In the cellar of Tenuta Novare, beautifully situated in the hills of Valpolicella - the heart of the wine house and acquired more than 60 years ago by the Bertani family - wines of great complexity and elegance, inspired by the French wine culture, are created, with both classic and modern flavours. This is also where the complex and rich Amarone matures. The cellar inventory includes many new large barrels of chestnut, cherry and oak wood. But there is also a lot of wood in the typical size of the 'botte veronese' and I'll be there. These huge containers can hold up to 800 litres of wine. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Bertani winery, part of the Angelini family empire, represents the tradition of Valpolicella. Innovation and renewal take place without losing sight of the special character of this soil and its customs."Gambero Rosso
