In the Valley of the Gods (Valpantena), Bertani has been writing perhaps the purest Amarone story in Italy since 1857. This northernmost subzone of Valpolicella is considered their secret cru, where marl-limestone on the eastern slope and clay-limestone on the western slope of the hills create a unique terroir. Here, far from the tourist trails, Corvina Veronese and Rondinella thrive on 15 to 20-year-old vines. After being harvested by hand in September, the grapes are left to rest for four months in the historic drying rooms of the Grezzana winery until the winter pressing begins. 30 months of ageing in Slavonian oak barrels and barriques give this Amarone its characteristic finesse – less opulent than the classics from Negrar, but more mineral and flavoursome.

Intense ruby colour with violet reflections heralds a wine of aristocratic restraint. Very ripe cherries and black cherries dominate the nose, followed by wild raspberries and fine spicy notes. A silky texture unfolds on the palate with soft tannins that elegantly envelop the fruity centre. An Amarone that understands time – both in the making and in the glass. Bertani's interpretation of the divine valley: powerful but never loud, complex but never overloaded. SUPERIORE.DE
