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 Bertani winery was established in 1857 by brothers Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani in north of Verona.<\/p>\n
The winery’s influence on Veneto’s winemaking, especially in Amarone production, is so profound that the names ‘Bertani’ and ‘Amarone’ are almost interchangeable.<\/p>\n
Bertani produced its first official vintage of Amarone Classico, crafted through natural appassimento, in 1958.<\/p>\n
Today, Bertani 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 “Winery of the Year” by Doctor Wine.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Bertani was awarded \u201c”Winery of the Year” 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
#1 BEST WINE of the Year, JS Top 100 World Wines 2024<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n “A vivid ruby color with a garnet tinge and super-restrained nose of licorice, oak bark, smoke, wood, cigar box, leather, dark chocolate, crushed violets and prunes. Freshness and subtlety. Full-bodied and elegant on the palate due to ripe, filigree tannins with long acidity and a toasty, savory aftertaste. One of the great Amarones. Corvina and Rondinella. Ready to drink now, but intended for the long haul.” – James Suckling, 100 Points\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 80% Corvina, 20% Rondinella<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19093,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
