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=”6493″ 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":"
Valpantena, northeast of Verona, is a Prealpine valley. It is a superb expanse of calcareous-marl land, containing large amounts of iron. These features give the wines spicy and mineral notes which distinguish the grapes from those grown in the other valleys of Valpolicella.<\/p>\n
“Savory underbrush and smoke notes play off the sweet and juicy core of dried cranberry fruit displayed in this concentrated red set in a lively, medium- to full-bodied frame. It shows good length, and hints of dark chocolate, sassafras, blood orange peel and white pepper linger on the mouthwatering finish.” – Wine Spectator, 92 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/strong> 80% Corvina, 20% Rondinella<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":19088,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
