First established in 1857, today Bertani is still owned by the same family and vaunts more than a century and a half of unbroken tradition in the wines of Valpolicella. The company is based in a jaw-droppingly lovely renaissance villa and nurtures one of the largest libraries of amazing old vintages in the region, some of which can be made available on request. The Bertani company owns vineyards and cellars in the Valpantena, on the Villa Novare estate in the Valpolicella, as well as land in the Soave area and in the areas around Lake Garda. The company headquarters is in the original cellars in Grezzana, north-east of Verona, where the historic vineyards are still to be found and where the work of vinification, ageing, bottling and despatch take place. Historically Villa Novare has always been the most beautiful estate in the Valpolicella Classica area, with its extraordinary environmental balance between vineyards and woods and the presence of a number of natural springs. It was from here that Bertani launched the project of devoting some vineyards exclusively to the production of this Valpolicella Classico. And it is here, where the hills slope gently down to the valley, that the most suitable grapes are selected to produce this clean, intensely fruity and unpretentious Valpolicella. This 'Valpolicella Classico' displays a violet red colour with intense notes of black currant red, plum, raspberry, black cherry and spice. In the mouth opens, fresh with a good balance between acidity, sweetness and sapidity.
