Bertani Amarone Valpantena DOCG, 2019

Description

This wine comes from the hills of the Valpantena, the only “cru” subzone in the Valpolicella area. Bertani’s traditional devotion to producing Amarone is also found in this wine, a modern and balanced Amarone, but still authentic and rich in body.

New fermentation technology and drying methods give balance and elegance to the wine’s exuberant fruity notes, blackberry flavour, hints of mint, sweet cherry and spicy notes that are typical of this valley.

Tasting Notes

Blend: 80% Corvina Veronese, 20% Rondinella

Deep dark red color with violet rim. Intense aromas of cherries and blackberries with spice notes of cinnamon and pepper. On the palate the wine has an enveloping, soft and creamy mouthfeel with a persistent finish, accented with fleshy tannins.

Serving Suggestions

A wine that can be enjoyed by itself or paired with poultry dishes like duck breast and foie gras, combined with a fruity sauce. Will go well with most red meat dishes like beef, game and stews such as beefsteak.
