Valpolicella with the richness of Amarone
  • 91 Points
  • From Iconic Amarone Producer Bertani
  • "Ripe and mouth-filling flavors"
Bertani’s impact on Veneto wine making, particularly in Amarone production, is so considerable that ‘Bertani’ and ‘Amarone’ are nearly synonymous. Their 150+ year history is dotted with groundbreaking initiatives and royal accreditation. Bertani Ripasso combines the richness, flavor and texture of Amarone along with the freshness and vibrancy of Valpolicella. The wine is produced in the hills of the Valpantena and Valpolicella Classica area. The soil is mainly calcareous-marl with a part that is volcanic, rich in iron. The vines are vertical-trellised, with Guyot pruning and a planting density of 2,024 plants per acre. The harvest is done by hand at the end of September. The first fermentation takes place in special wide and shallow steel tanks, which are ideal for increasing contact between must and skins, at a temperature of 68°F to 72°F, lasting for about two weeks. Second fermentation, Ripasso, takes place a month later in March after which the wine ages in French oak barrels for nine months. Wine Spectator scored this 91 points saying "Ripe and mouth-filling flavors of strawberry preserves and raspberry coulis are framed by silky tannins in this finely meshed, medium-bodied red. The fruit-forward profile is balanced by a savory touch of stemmy herb, fresh earth and softly tangy orange peel notes, ending with a creamy finish. Drink now through 2026.
