Deep, glowing and quietly powerful, this 2015 Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico layers dried cherry and currant, cocoa, leather and gentle wood spice over a core of concentrated red and black fruit. The palate is surprisingly lifted and graceful for Amarone, carried by vivid acidity, fine-grained structure and a savory, slightly salty finish that promises even greater nuance with time in bottle. A benchmark, combining richness with remarkable poise and length.

Bertani’s Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is a benchmark, traditionally styled Amarone from the Tenuta Novare estate in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica zone, crafted primarily from Corvina Veronese with Rondinella. Long air-drying of the grapes and seven years’ aging in large Slavonian oak casks yield a dry, powerful yet remarkably elegant wine, noted for its intense red color, complex aromas of plum, cherry and spice, and a poised balance of richness and acidity that supports exceptional longevity.
