Bertani is a renowned winery located in the Veneto region of Italy, known for its traditional approach to winemaking and its dedication to producing high-quality wines. The Bertani Amarone is crafted from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which are indigenous to the region. The grapes are carefully selected and undergo a unique appassimento process, where they are dried on straw mats to concentrate their flavors before fermentation. This wine is aged in large Slavonian oak barrels, which impart subtle oak nuances while preserving the wine's natural fruit character. The resulting Amarone is rich and full-bodied, with a complex flavor profile featuring notes of dried cherries, plums, and a hint of spice. Its velvety tannins and balanced acidity make it an excellent pairing with hearty dishes such as braised meats, aged cheeses, and rich pasta dishes.

Wow. Such a complex nose, with a base of dried cherry, spruced up with hints of mild coffee and walnuts. Then there are dried flowers, wild herbs and spices, such as tarragon and cloves. Subtle hints of dried banana and apricot, too. The palate is full, super sleek, intense and well-balanced, with tight, spice-coated tannins that drive everything forward. Long, long finish. Lovely to taste now, but this already almost ten-year-old will sit comfortably in your cellar for a long while yet.
