Bertani Valpolicella Classico Le Miniere di Novare 2025

Bertani’s Valpolicella Classico Le Miniere di Novare is a fresh, refined red from a distinctive four-hectare cru in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. Made from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, it reflects a site whose name—and character—are linked to the old mine shafts beneath its terraces.

Tasting Notes
Bright ruby red in the glass, it opens with aromas of cherry and wild berries, accented by a distinctive note of white pepper. The palate is light and elegant, with fresh fruit, well-integrated tannins and a long, finely spiced finish. The wine’s freshness and finesse make it enjoyable in its youth. Specific guidance on further aging is not available.

Production
The grapes come from Tenuta Novare in Arbizzano di Negrar, where the Le Miniere cru occupies two southwest-facing terraces above historic mine shafts. Vines trained using the double Guyot system grow in soils of Eocene limestone and red marl, enriched with reddish clay. After careful hand selection, fermentation takes place in stainless steel to preserve the grapes’ aromatic character. The wine then matures in concrete for six to nine months, followed by at least six months in bottle.

Food & Serving
Serve alongside flavourful meat dishes or medium-aged cheeses. A serving temperature of around 15–16°C should suit its fresh, elegant style. Decanting is not essential; if desired, a short time in the decanter can allow the aromas to open.
