Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2015

A winery like BERTANI should be used to such recognitions, but each time feels like the first. Especially when the pinnacle of excellence is marked by a wine like the Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, which, in the 2015 vintage, expresses its full identity as a great red wine, a flagship of Made in Italy. The 2015 vintage follows the success of the Amarone Classico Bertani 2013, which last year was the most awarded wine in Italy.

The result of over three thousand days of waiting and work, “the 2015 vintage is the harvest that first felt the impact of climate change and how it influences the nature and composition of the grapes, and therefore, the duration of the so called “messa a riposo”- the resting period,” reports the Bertani technical team.

Classics resist the passage of time. The classics defy time. That’s Bertani: beyond fashion and method wines, always faithful to an elegant style, with color that is never exaggerated.

Above all, it is always dry.

Intense red color with hints of garnet. On the nose, typical notes of plum, cherry and Morello cherry followed by tea leaves, licorice and spices. On the palate, notes of red berry fruit sweetened by soft notes of spices, in perfect balance with acidity.
