Tasting Notes: The Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso is an intense ruby-red wine offering an aromatic bouquet of fresh red fruits, particularly cherry and plum, along with subtle hints of underbrush, pepper, and cinnamon, enriched by overtones of spice and chocolate. On the palate, it is velvety, full-bodied, and well-balanced, with a lively grip and sapid (savory) finish that provides a lasting impression of the rich, fresh fruit flavors, supported by silky tannins.
Estate History: The Bertani winery was founded in 1857 by brothers Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani in Quinto di Valpantena, north of Verona. Gaetano's innovative viticulture studies in France led them to be among the first in Italy to prioritize quality, bottle their own wine, and export it widely. The estate is renowned for defining the dry Valpolicella style, known as Secco-Bertani, and is widely credited with the creation of the modern, dry Amarone della Valpolicella in the 1950s, a style that has become synonymous with the brand and a benchmark for the region. The winery has a legacy of innovation and respect for tradition, earning royal accreditation in 1923, and continues to influence the global perception of Valpolicella wines.
