Bertani Valpantena Amarone della Valpolicella Valpantena DOCG 2022

An Amarone from the hills of Valpantena, the only additional denomination permitted for Valpolicella and treated as a true cru. It is made on more mineral soils, giving spicier, fresher wines with nerve within a soft, persuasive texture, and is aged in medium and small oak barrels for a more immediate balance. It is a modern, balanced and authentic Amarone. In the glass it is intense ruby with a light violet tinge. The nose shows mature cherry, sour cherry and berries, followed by fresh, lightly spicy tones. The palate is dry, soft, enveloping and well balanced, with a pleasing tannic texture and a persistent finish with light red fruit notes. It suits rich dishes, aged cheeses and intensely flavoured meats, preferably roasted.
