Why shop with us?
Bertani’s Catullo 2022 is a Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore that combines the region’s supple, fruit-led character with added depth from the traditional Ripasso method. Made from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella at Tenuta Novare, it reflects Bertani’s long-standing connection to Valpolicella, dating back to 1857.
Tasting Notes
The wine offers aromas of cherry and black cherry, layered with hints of vanilla, chocolate and white pepper. On the palate, silky tannins frame ripe fruit and gentle spice, leading to a fresh, savoury finish.
Production
The grapes come from Tenuta Novare in Arbizzano di Negrar, in the heart of Valpolicella Classica. Vines trained using the double Guyot system grow in marl and limestone soils with clay deposits. Made using the Ripasso method, the Valpolicella wine undergoes a second fermentation on the pomace left from Amarone production. It then matures for 12 months in French oak, followed by a year in concrete tanks and at least six months in bottle. The wine is described as suitable for vegans.
Food & Serving
Enjoy Catullo with grilled meats, roasts, game or medium-aged cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C; a short spell in a decanter can help open up its aromas before serving.
Producer
Bertani has been associated with Valpolicella since 1857, and Catullo is made at the producer’s Tenuta Novare estate. The wine celebrates the Ripasso tradition and its relationship with Amarone, while expressing the character of Valpolicella Classica. The 2022 vintage received 90 points from Wine Spectator.
