February 1993 Style This wine, which has spent eight years in oak barrels, presents itself in all its youth with a still ruby red color with a slight garnet edge. On the nose, aromas of plum, dried fruit, and spices are distinct, followed by subtle animal notes of leather. On the palate, it is structured, intense, and persistent, with a certain tannic aggressiveness that suggests further development and a long life. Tasting Notes Intense red color with garnet highlights. The nose presents typical notes of plum, cherry, and morello cherry, followed by tea leaf, licorice, and spices. On the palate, hints of red berry fruit, sweetened by soft spicy notes, are perfectly balanced with acidity and tannins. Bottled by the Bertani Winery. Bertani is a name that embodies the elegance and great winemaking tradition of Valpolicella, representing one of the most prestigious symbols of Veneto winemaking for over 160 years. Founded in 1857 by brothers Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani, the winery has always focused on innovation and unparalleled quality, making a significant contribution to the international fame of Amarone della Valpolicella. Today, Bertani owns over 200 hectares of vineyards, spread across the Valpolicella Classica and Valpantena regions, exceptionally suited to winemaking, characterized by calcareous marl soils and a temperate microclimate, ideal for the perfect ripening of native grapes such as Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. The company's philosophy is founded on a perfect balance between tradition and modernity: winemaking techniques respect the region's history, with lengthy maturation in Slavonian oak barrels, while the vineyard approach favors sustainable practices to preserve biodiversity. Each bottle of Bertani is a tribute to refinement and longevity, an authentic interpretation of the Veneto terroir that combines structure, finesse, and emotion in every sip. Great time to have the joy of drinking it. Critic score points 93 Wine Advocate 92 Jamessuckling.com 92 Wine Spectator 93 Antonio Gallani Vinous
