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.
