Founded in 1857 in Grezzana, in the heart of Valpolicella Classico, Bertani is one of the pillars of Venetian viticulture. It is known for its traditional techniques combined with modern precision, utilizing classified vineyards (quattro cru) located on clay-limestone hillsides. The estate embodies an elegant balance between density, structure, and freshness.

Philosophy & Winemaking

Bertani advocates for sustainable viticulture that respects the terroir. The harvest is manual, and the grapes destined for Amarone and Ripasso are dried using the traditional method on graticci (drying racks), then fermented for a long time in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. Aging takes place in oak barrels and casks, refined to preserve freshness and elegance.
