The name of this wine comes from the word "bitter", which began to be used to distinguish it from "Recioto" the other sweeter red wine typical of the area of Valpolicella, and with whom he had casually origin.Catullus (Latin poet of the Republican age) was already speaking of a "bitter wine" declaiming "calices amariores" (bitter glasses) in his Carmine No. 27, written in 49 BC (approximately).
