On 12 May 1937, King George VI of England was crowned. At the coronation banquet that followed the historic ceremony, there was one wine on the table: Bertani Soave. Not champagne, not Bordeaux. Soave. From a house that, ever since 1857 – when Gaetano Bertani trained under Jules Guyot in Burgundy – had been committed to the belief that the wines of Verona need not shy away from comparison with the best in the world. The Original Vintage Edition pays homage to this heritage. Made according to the estate's traditional recipe, from vines on the western slope of the Soave hill north of the Castello, the historic heart of the Classico zone, where Garganega grows on volcanic-limestone soil and the air smells of old vineyards. 100% Garganega. Nine months in concrete tanks. Six months in bottle. The concrete preserves freshness and allows the terroir to express itself without overpowering it.

An intense straw-yellow colour with golden hues. The bouquet offers notes of peach, pear and apricot; it is clear and inviting. On the palate, it is smooth and has a pleasant length, with a round, lingering finish. The wine that was present at a coronation. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense and very aromatic for a Soave, with a complex nose of goat's milk, apricots, salted lemons and chalky minerality. Medium-bodied with a silky texture, citrus flavours and long, crisp acidity." James Suckling
