Veneto
The Veneto, located in the north-east of Italy, is about five million population, ranking fifth in Italy.
It is a very touristic area, mainly to Venice but also Verona.
It is also a region that contributes a significant percentage of the country’s total wine industry.
Soave, Valpolicella or Amarone, are produced there. The super trendy sparkling wine Prosecco has its origins and its best expression in the Veneto.
Much of Italy’s Pinot grigio hails from the Veneto, where the crisp and refreshing style is easy to maintain.
Bertani
The company was established in 1857 by brothers Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani in north of Verona.
The winery’s influence on Veneto’s winemaking, especially in Amarone production, is so profound that the names ‘Bertani’ and ‘Amarone’ are almost interchangeable.
Bertani produced its first official vintage of Amarone Classico, crafted through natural appassimento, in 1958.
Today, the winery continues to blend tradition with innovation, managing over 200 hectares of vineyards in the prime areas of the Verona province.
In 2018, Bertani was honored with the title “Winery of the Year” by Doctor Wine.
In 2023, one more award as “Winery of the Year” by Gambero Rosso.
