Bertani

Bertanis Rosé is a fresh, fruity and full-bodied wine. The Molinara grape vinified as a red wine and a small proportion of white (!) vinified Merlot lend the Chiaretto this unmistakable vivacity. SUPERIORE.DE

"Very pale pink. Delicate aromas and flavors of pink grapefruit, pomegranate and white flowers, with a hint of strawberry. Saline on entry and again on the long finish, which speaks of the Molinara, a red grape variety that has erroneously been cast aside by most Veneto producers due to the lack of color of its wines. Instead, it’s an outstanding variety by which to make Rosato. This extremely graceful pink wine might appeal less to those looking for size and power, but it’s a remarkably well balanced, elegant, beauty." Vinous

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 wine from the traditional Bertani house. SUPERIORE.DE

Bertanis 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 traditional method: The young Valpolicella wine, already fermented, is mixed with the skins, which are now naturally dried, giving it a richer and more concentrated aroma. It then undergoes a second so-called "ripasso" fermentation, which is triggered by the yeasts still present in the shells.

Intense purple with violet reflections. In the bouquet numerous dark red fruits like blackberry, currant and ripe cherry. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, which with the slightly increased residual sweetness gives an exciting yet dry impression. Velvety and balanced, with a rather long aftertaste. An ideal wine for the dark months and an excellent accompaniment to strong, intense and aromatic dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blueberry and leather notes, with prominent oak tones yet good fruit concentration. Crisp acidity, and crunchy young tannin." Decanter

A cuvée of Corvina, Sangiovese, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, rich in finesse, which seduces the nose tirelessly with fruity and herbal aromas, while the taste presents a considerable substance and fullness 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 ancient Veronese tradition. SUPERIORE.DE

Perfect Amarone from the Valpantena subzone with a promising bouquet of dark cherries, sweet spices and earthiness. On the palate continuous and complex with elegant aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

"Concentrated nose of plums, dried raspberries, coffee, liquorice, mint, and old wood. Palate is rich and intense, with a balsamic hint, velvety tannins, and an elegant persistent finish." Decanter

Only nine years after the harvest is this great wine released for sale: The slow drying of the fully ripe grapes gives this Cru its tremendous strength and density as well as its exceptional character with powerful maturity, fullness of fruit, beautiful concentration and great elegance. On the palate Bertanis Amarone shows freshness, noble lightness and great dynamism. An exciting wine and for decades the most classic Amarone - almost the archetype - of the whole appellation. SUPERIORE.DE

"Amarone Bertani is made from Corvina and Rondinella grapes grown in the Tenuta Novare over calcareous-marl soils in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica. Out of fashion in the 1990s due to its slender style, today it's returning to favour as the benchmark for elegance in Valpolicella. Thus the 2010 shows a complex nose of cigar leaves, leather and fresh raspberry, with a perfectly balanced and velvety palate." Decanter

"For a 2010, this is still very fresh indeed, showcasing sour cherries, red plums, citrus, orange peel and grenadine. Very linear and tangy on the palate, but the muscular tannins provide depth and power. Medium-to full-bodied and medium-chewy on the vibrant finish. Beautifully crafted and expertly shaped. Flag-bearer for the modern style of Amarone." James Suckling

"A restrained spicy-fruity nose of plums, nuts and tea; on the palate clear and well-built, not overly sweet, but with a nice acidity, ends long on notes of blackberry and cherry. Vinum
