The 2015 Bertani Amarone della Valpolicella Classico stands as one of Italy’s most iconic wines. Crafted with the traditional appassimento method, where hand-harvested Corvina and Rondinella grapes are carefully dried for months, this Amarone achieves extraordinary richness and complexity. Bertani, established in 1857, is the historic benchmark for Amarone production, and the 2015 vintage is proof of their mastery.
Expect layers of dark cherries, plum preserves, cocoa, spice, and hints of tobacco unfolding in a full-bodied, structured wine with elegant balance. With over 150 years of tradition, Bertani’s Amarone is built for longevity, offering 20+ years of cellaring potential.
