The new lines of Valpolicella Valpantena wines and the 2012 vintage of the historic Amarone della Valpolicella Classico from Cantina Bertani, which is owned by Angelini Holding, have just arrived in wine shops. «Today, as more than a century ago, there is a Bertani style made up of solid and defined values, which act as foundations and together represent its identity. Consistent with our territory we have enhanced its specificities, investing in research in the vineyard as well as in the cellar, remaining focused on classicism and quality. Fashions have never influenced this historical reality, not even when we develop new projects, such as the Bertani Crus, a contemporary reading of the complexity that Valpolicella can achieve, or the brand new Valpolicella Valpantena line “said Ettore Nicoletto, CEO and President of Bertani Domains . Valpolicella Valpantena has always been the identity district for Bertani, who in 1857 saw the birth of his production site in this valley. Thus Bertani, who has shown that he believes in the potential of this area, today invests in a project that gives value to the territory and which aims to pay greater attention to the enhancement of the different souls of Valpolicella.

The 2012 vintage of Amarone della Valpolicella Classico has also arrived, which according to Nicoletto «has hit the balance point between these two versions: it is an exaggerated wine. But without exaggerating »he explains referring to the two characters of this wine. «The first is impressive in terms of concentration, potency, alcohol, extracts, longevity, or it can be a great red with more human characteristics, a not excessive alcohol content, greater freshness, easier drinkability. The first has the exceptional qualities that made it stand out on the international scene, but with one defect: a wine like this you never know when to drink it. The second has less personality, it can be confused with other great reds ». «It took an extra year of refinement to reach that balance that distinguishes Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Bertani – explains Andrea Lonardi, Bertani’s Chief Operating Officer -. That of the 2012 vintage was a harvest of extraordinary complexity, which rekindled the attention on tension and flavor, as rarely happens. It was a thrill to see him grow over time and take his shape, today to savor his temperament and to see his expectations confirmed, which will be followed by a great future ».
