Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Magnum 2011
Amarone Classico Bertani is a timeless wine that expresses the unique style that Bertani has always dedicatedly pursued. It is a classic style that does not need to change because it is always up-to-date. Amarone is made from Corvina and Rondinella grapes grown in the Tenuta Novare hills, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica area, in vineyards devoted entirely to producing drying grapes. Bertani has been making Amarone Classico since 1958, it is the perfect harmony between time, nature and man: we devote all of our know-how and our passion to it, with a long waiting period and great care. The grapes are set aside to dry on the “aréle” (racks made from bamboo canes), according to the traditional production method.

Colour

Intense red with garnet nuances.

Bouquet

Typical and marked notes of plum, cherry and morello cherry on the nose, followed by a wide variety of tones: nuts, tea leaves, liquorice and spices.

Flavour

On the palate, overtones of red berry fruit, softened by velvety notes of vanilla, in perfect balance with the acidity and tannic notes.

Pairing

It can be paired with red meat, game and mature cheese, but it is also perfect at the end of a meal and as a “conversation” wine.
