The Veneto, located in the north-east of Italy, is about five million population, ranking fifth in Italy.<\/p>\n
It is a very touristic area, mainly to Venice but also Verona.<\/p>\n
It is also a region that contributes a significant percentage of the country\u2019s total wine industry.<\/p>\n
Soave, Valpolicella or Amarone, are produced there. The super trendy sparkling wine Prosecco has its origins and its best expression in the Veneto.<\/p>\n
Much of Italy\u2019s Pinot grigio hails from the Veneto, where the crisp and refreshing style is easy to maintain.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”20506″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
The company was established in 1857 by brothers Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani in north of Verona.<\/p>\n
The winery\u2019s influence on Veneto\u2019s winemaking, especially in Amarone production, is so profound that the names \u2018Bertani\u2019 and \u2018Amarone\u2019 are almost interchangeable.<\/p>\n
Bertani produced its first official vintage of Amarone Classico, crafted through natural appassimento, in 1958.<\/p>\n
Today, the winery continues to blend tradition with innovation, managing over 200 hectares of vineyards in the prime areas of the Verona province.<\/p>\n
In 2018, Bertani was honored with the title \u201cWinery of the Year\u201d by Doctor Wine.<\/p>\n
In 2023, one more award as \u201cWinery of the Year\u201d by Gambero Rosso.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Some consider Bertani as the inventor of modern Amarone. They work on the purity of the wine\u2019s fruit, its territory and its tradition. The wine is built on acid and structure, not on sweetness and extract.<\/p>\n
“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.” – James Suckling, 98 Points<\/strong> & listed\u00a0in the Top 100 Wines 2021\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 80% Corvina, 20% Rondinella<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":11641,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
