The 2021 Bertani Le Miniere di Novare Valpolicella Classico DOC is a refined expression of one of Italy’s most historic wine regions. Produced at the renowned Tenuta Novare estate in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, this elegant red wine is crafted from the traditional blend of Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, and Corvinone, reflecting Bertani’s commitment to quality and the authentic character of the region.
The nose is fragrant and expressive, revealing aromas of ripe cherry, wild raspberry, redcurrant, violets, and subtle Mediterranean herbs, complemented by hints of white pepper and sweet spice. On the palate, it is fresh, medium-bodied, and beautifully balanced, with silky tannins supporting vibrant red berry fruit, gentle spice, and savoury notes. Bright acidity and refined structure lead to a long, elegant finish that is both refreshing and food-friendly.
This versatile Valpolicella is an excellent choice for everyday dining, pairing beautifully with pizza, pasta, grilled meats, roasted chicken, charcuterie, mushroom dishes, and aged Italian cheeses.
