Bertani

Due Uve means two grape varieties: Corvina and Merlot. Together they produce an invitingly fragrant red, whose juicy taste convinces with good firmness, tension and great harmony. SUPERIORE.DE

Bertani's Rosé is a fresh, fruity, yet full-bodied wine. The Molinara grape, vinified as a red wine, and a small portion of white (!) vinified Merlot give the Chiaretto this unmistakable liveliness. SUPERIORE.DE

Light yellow in the glass; fresh, fruity scent of pear and peach, fine taste. An elegant white wine full of character, light and easy to enjoy. SUPERIORE.DE

Since the 2021 vintage, the grapes for this classic from a good house have come exclusively from the hills of the Valpolicella core zone Valpantena: Fresh flowers, sweet red berries, mint and a hint of cinnamon escape the glass. Absolutely delicious and vinous on the palate, the style is exuberant and joyful. This is how fresh and precise Valpolicella can be. SUPERIORE.DE

A fresh and aromatic Lugana with great personality and structure. straw yellow colour with greenish reflections, the bouquet with fruity notes of pear and peach. These aromas continue on the palate. An extremely pleasant white from the traditional Bertani house. SUPERIORE.DE

A finesse-rich cuvée of Corvina, Sangiovese, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon that seduces the nose tirelessly with fruit and herbal aromas, while the taste offers considerable substance and richness with a mixture of lightness and tension. Impressive how this Vintage Edition does justice to the expressive and harmonious style of the house and the old Veronese tradition. SUPERIORE.DE

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

The grapes for this graceful Valpolicella Classico come from the Miniere vineyard of Bertani's Villa Novare estate, a south-western site of just 4 hectares consisting of two terraces. Bright ruby red, notes of fresh fruit, cherry, wild berries on the nose, with elegant hints of white pepper. Spicy, light and tasty on the palate, with remarkable persistence and great length! SUPERIORE.DE

"Initially of blood orange on the nose, then rich raspberry and cherry, a hint of chestnut honey, very inviting. Balanced and very clear on the palate, spreads out with savoury red berry fruit, slightly salty undertone, demands a second sip. Pairs well with a margherita in particular when served cool." Falstaff

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

The grapes for this noble Valpolicella come from calcareous marl soils from the terraced vineyards of the Novare winery. Similar to the Amarone process, the grapes undergo a second fermentation on the sweet skins of dried grapes in March after the harvest. Strong ruby red, warm spicy notes on the palate, cherry, black pepper and hints of chocolate. Animating in the glass with intense fruity aromas, wonderfully soft tannin structure and beautiful persistence. This multilayered, luxurious wine does not have to hide behind its big brother! SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas and flavors of ripe berries and dark cherries with licorice-tinged minerals. Full-bodied with a soft feel and well-integrated, creamy tannins. Nice intensity to the fruit here." James Suckling

"Shining dark ruby. In the nose of ripe cherry, fresh rose, in the reverberation of rich blackberries. Shows dry, exciting course, salty, precise and clear, elegant course, firm pressure in the finish." Falstaff

Impeccable Amarone from the Valpantena subzone with a promising bouquet of dark cherries, sweet spices and earthiness. Continuous and complex on the palate with an elegant finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby with brightening garnet rim. Fresh and clear nose, smells of dark cherries, ripe plums, some undergrowth, coriander seeds in the background. In the mouth with fine-meshed tannin, shows good tension, round and supple, with fine pressure in the final." Falstaff

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 tremendous 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

"Mid garnet. So much going on here in the nose! Fruit and dried spices. Makes me want to try an Amarone next time I’m in an Indian restaurant with a good wine list. Really very complex and exciting. So fresh and clean! Dry finish. So unlike the Amarone commercial norm. Really rather thrilling." Jancis Robinson

"Wow. Such a complex nose, with a base of dried cherry, spruced up with hints of mild coffee and walnuts. Then there are dried flowers, wild herbs and spices, such as tarragon and cloves. Subtle hints of dried banana and apricot, too. The palate is full, super sleek, intense and well-balanced, with tight, spice-coated tannins that drive everything forward. Long, long finish. Lovely to taste now, but this already almost ten-year-old will sit comfortably in your cellar for a long while yet." James Suckling
