Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena 2022

Bertani’s Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena is a classic expression of one of Veneto’s most prestigious styles, combining intensity, elegance and the unmistakable character of appassimento winemaking. Made from carefully selected Corvina and Rondinella grapes, it reflects both the heritage of Amarone and the distinct identity of the Valpantena zone. This is a wine built on tradition, patience and a long history of craftsmanship in Valpolicella.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red color with violet reflections. The nose is immediately expressive, offering aromas of very ripe cherry, dark cherry, wild berries, spice and dried fruit, all hallmarks of Valpantena’s style. On the palate, it is rich and layered, with flavors of red fruit supported by soft tannins and a deep, warming structure. The balance between concentration and smoothness gives it excellent presence, and its complexity suggests it will continue to evolve beautifully with time in bottle.

Production
The vineyards are rooted in Valpantena soils that vary from marl-limestone in the east to clay-limestone in the west, with a notable iron-rich influence that contributes to the wine’s depth and structure. Harvest begins in mid-September and is carried out by hand to ensure only the best grapes are selected. Fermentation starts at a cool 4–5°C and is gradually brought up to 22°C during the final phase, followed by approximately 30 months of aging in Slavonian oak casks with a smaller proportion in barriques.

Food & Serving
This Amarone is an excellent match for braised red meats, roast game, rich mushroom dishes and aged cheeses, as well as slow-cooked Italian classics such as osso buco or risotto with truffle. Serve at around 16–18°C to bring out its aromatic depth and silky texture. Decanting for 1–2 hours is recommended, especially when served young, to allow the bouquet and tannins to open fully.

Producer
Bertani is one of the most respected names in Valpolicella and has long played a defining role in the history of Amarone. Known for its commitment to traditional methods and consistent quality, the producer helped establish the reputation of the region’s great wines far beyond Italy. Today, Bertani remains a benchmark estate, admired for producing wines that combine authenticity, precision and longevity.
