Their estate’s limestone-rich soils and temperate climate foster a distinctive expression of indigenous grapes like Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara. Bertani’s meticulous approach includes extended aging in large Slavonian oak casks and a commitment to minimal intervention, resulting in wines that reflect both terroir and time. Beyond their celebrated Amarone della Valpolicella, Bertani crafts elegant Soave from Garganega grapes grown on volcanic hillsides as well as refined Valpolicella Ripasso that highlights the region’s layered complexity. Their portfolio also features sparkling wines such as Bertarose Rosé and select grappa distilled from their own pomace, each product echoing the estate’s deep connection to Veneto’s viticultural heritage.
