2020 | Tenuta Santa Maria di Gaetano Bertani | Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore

Displaying a vibrant ruby red hue reminiscent of Amarone, it exudes intense aromas of cherry, blueberry, liquorice, with lingering hints of cinnamon and pepper. On the palate, velvety tannins are complemented by a well-balanced acidity. The finish is long, leaving behind a fruity aftertaste.

Producer Information

At the historic estate of Arbizzano di Negrar, you can breathe in centuries of winemaking experience based on a deep-rooted and ancient oenological heritage founded in the 16th century. The Bertani brothers, Giovanni and Guglielmo, thanks to a deep respect for the Veronese wine history and the enhancement of the various indigenous varieties and local terroir, are continuing the avant-garde project dedicated to quality production in the footsteps of their father Gaetano Bertani. The production philosophy, inherited from Gaetano Bertani, is linked to meticulous and respectful work in the vineyards and to the pioneering application of innovative practices, including the high-density and low-yield Guyot method applied to indigenous clones in the historic cellars of the estate since 1883. With their ongoing research, they are continuing to refine the grape drying technique to enhance the aromatic complexity of the native Veronese varieties, not just the intensity and concentration.The wines obtained are less sugary and more elegant, a direct evolution of the precursor of Amarone Classico, the “Recioto Tipo Secco”. Over the years, Gaetano Bertani has received prestigious international awards and his constant commitment to his practise has paved the way for future generations. Giovanni and Guglielmo Bertani have inherited the passion and experience of their father Gaetano, bringing a renewed spirit of research with contemporary and sustainable practices to this day.
