Created from a skilful blend of \u003cstrong\u003eCorvina\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eRondinella\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes subjected to a rigorous drying process, it reveals clear aromas of ripe cherry, black cherry and wild berries on the nose, enriched by notes of spices and dried fruit. On the palate, it expresses a full-bodied structure, supported by \u003cstrong\u003esoft tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that give depth to the sip, with intense hints of blackberry and a slightly mentholated finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the hills of \u003cstrong\u003eValpantena\u003c\/strong\u003e, considered the only cru within the \u003cstrong\u003eAmarone della Valpolicella\u003c\/strong\u003e area. The vineyards, trained using the \u003cstrong\u003eGuyot\u003c\/strong\u003e system, grow on soils with distinctive characteristics: marl-limestone on the eastern side and clay-limestone on the western side, both marked by a high presence of iron. The wine presents an intense red colour with violet hues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manual harvest takes place in mid-September, with a rigorous selection of bunches destined for a long \u003cstrong\u003edrying process in the fruit lofts\u003c\/strong\u003e until mid-January. After crushing, fermentation begins at very low temperatures before stabilising at 22°C in the final stage. The wine matures for about thirty months in \u003cstrong\u003eSlavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and, to a lesser extent, in barriques. The production cycle concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003efurther ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of at least six months, a fundamental step to enhance its elegance and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe historic dedication of the Bertani winery to the production of Amarone is renewed in this wine, which originates from the hills of Valpantena. A particularly interesting fact is that Valpantena is the only subzone classified as a cru in the entire Valpolicella area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bertani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47208233926827,"sku":"61824","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/bertani-amarone-della-valpolicella-valpantena-2022_61824_1_210f2505-2b3e-43f5-b300-cefa34503348.webp?v=1781194198","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/products\/bertani-amarone-della-valpolicella-valpantena-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
