Description

Bertani Amarone Classico is a still red characterized by an authentic identity that has featured the same packaging since 1958, even though this wine was created in 1857. It was in the mid-twenty-first century, with the expansion of its land and the acquisition of the Tenuta Novare in the Valpolicella Classica area, that Bertani was able to realize its research, spanning more than fifty years, by beginning the production of wine, which is designed to last forever, but follows ancient methods of cultivation and production. This is to fully understand and understand that Bertani Amarone Classico is a wine that recalls its tradition and has never changed the way it cultivates its vines and produces its intense aroma. Its vines are still grown today at the Tenuta Novare, in the province of Verona in the Valpolicella Classica area. Bertani has brought to fruition more than half a century of research and study into the winemaking industry, producing a wine made from 80% Corvina and 20% Rondinella grapes, a product whose authenticity and delicacy have endured for a long time. The history of Amarone began in the Veneto region, a wine that symbolizes the region from which it originates, capable of encapsulating the flavors and characteristics of Veneto grape varieties in the barrels. A rigorous production method and a love of winemaking innovation are balanced by the respect for tradition that has accompanied Bertani production for over 150 years. A wine produced with commercial initiative and professionalism: these are the distinctive traits of this Veronese company.

Remaining coherent with our most authentic identity represents an essential value for us. For more than a century and a half we have made wines that are recognizable for their identity, wines with a clear and therefore unmistakable stylistic profile. We have always chosen the path of territorial wines, even when it is method guiding us.

A path that at times is more difficult, but that builds solid relationships. It has never been enough to please our customers. We have always wanted to make them happy.

Origin Tenuta Villa Novare in Arbizzano di Negrar, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. The property is a large natural amphitheatre protected to the north and open to the south.
Soil composition In the east part a marl-limestone soil prevails, while in the west part several layers make up a variegated agrarian soil resting on limestone slabs
Cultivation system Espalier, Guyot method. The vineyards are dedicated to the production of grapes exclusively suitable for raisining
Plants per hectare 5.000
Harvest Second week of September with manual harvesting. After careful selection, the grapes are transported to the drying lofts and laid in a single layer on racks.
Fermentation temperature Maceration takes place at a very low temperature of 4°/5°C, which then reaches 18°C during fermentation. This method contributes to a high content of higher alcohols and glycerine, which increases the importance and elegance of the aromas.
Fermentation After a period of maceration, the wine undergoes a slow fermentation phase for a total time of about 50 days.
Production technique Natural drying over a period of about 120 days, during which all operations are carried out daily and manually. At the end of this long drying period, the grapes reach a sugar content of 24/25 Babo
Aging in Slavonian oak barrels for about six years. The barrels have an average capacity of 60 hl. A minimum ageing period of 12 months follows bottling.
Year production 100000 bottles
