Decanter om: Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena

Bertani Domains is owned by the Angelini group but operates independently, sourcing grapes exclusively from historic estates in the Valpantena at Grezzana, and in the Classico zone at Novare. Bertani's Classico (current vintage 2012) is legendary for its longevity. The Valpantena in contrast offers immediacy without renouncing on an authentically plummy Amarone character. Aged in traditional oak barrels, the nose has autumn fruit and violets with a hint of spice; the palate features super-fine tannins and a long, precise finish. 95/100

Parker om: Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena

From the Valpantena, one of several major valleys that run north to south from the mountains to the plains in Valpolicella, comes this unique wine. Indeed, the Bertani 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena offers you one of the only viable ways to taste fruit from this beautiful and largely unexplored valley north of Verona. There is a lot of ripeness here (almost too much) with plenty of textural richness to boot. The wine finishes with prune and dark plum that are in line with this hot and dry vintage. The tannins and the mouthfeel are soft and supple. Go with a near or medium-term drinking window for this bottle. 91/100

Galloni om: Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena

The 2017 Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena is dark and rich, pulling me closer with notes of tobacco and sage that give way to medicinal cherry and hints of camphor. It’s more vibrant than anticipated, with silky textures and medium bodied-weight, as tart red berries and minerals saturate the senses. This becomes quite perfumed with roses and violets through the finale, and it leaves a coating of fine tannins and hints of dark chocolate to linger. I love the savory balance here. Nicely done. 91/100

Bertani

Amarone fra en glemt tid, fra den gamle verden. Sjældent har en vingård karakteriseret en regions vindyrkningshistorie, som Bertani har gjort det tidligere. Hvad Biondi Santi er for Brunello og Ricasoli for Chianti, er Bertani for Amarone. Uendelig fin, blid kirsebær- og blommesmag, silkeblødt flow,...
