Bertani Description
Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico pours an intense red color with beautiful garnet highlights and immediately draws you in with its classic, expressive aromas. The nose opens with ripe plum, cherry, and Morello cherry, followed by inviting layers of tea leaves, licorice, and warming spices. On the palate, rich red berry flavors take center stage, gently sweetened by soft spice notes and perfectly balanced by vibrant acidity. Luxurious yet harmonious, this iconic Amarone shines alongside braised meats, game, aged cheeses, or hearty Italian dishes where its depth and elegance can truly come alive.
James Suckling: 100 Points
A vivid color with a garnet tinge and super-restrained nose of licorice, oak bark, smoke, wood, cigar box, leather, dark chocolate, smashed violets and prunes. It has a fresh subtleness. Full-bodied and elegant on the palate due to ripe, filigreed tannins with long acidity and a toast, savory aftertaste. One of the greatest Amarone. Corvina and Rondinella.
Decanter: 97 Points
Comforting aromas of dusty wood, dried red fruits, dark chocolate and some subtle floral lift lead to a superbly textural and airy palate which gives energy and space to the concentrated red and black fruits. Breezy and fragrant, lifted and poised, it's a masterclass of harmony and elegance, with a lovely salty edge and some crunchy berries. The complexity will come with time.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
This elegant red shows lovely length and integration and feels fresh and focused despite its 10 years of aging on release. Mineral-driven, with an underpinning of iron and loamy earth to the mix of dried cherry and red currant fruit, bitter herb, cocoa powder, and singed orange peel notes. Fine, taut tannins firm the well-spiced finish. Corvina and Rondinella. Best from 2027 through 2040. 5,000 cases made, 1,350 cases imported.
