SOAVE ORIGINAL VINTAGE EDITION

Background

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. While respectful of their past, Bertani strives towards innovation, using progressive techniques and equipment allied with extensive experience and a deeply felt respect for tradition to provide wines of uncompromising quality.

Winemaking

There are two harvests: the first takes place in the 3rd week of September where 40% of the grapes are crushed and traditionally fermentated off the skins at 58°F. The second harvest occures later, in October. The carefully selected grapes are crushed and fermented on the skins at a temperature of 68°F, for 15 days.

Tasting Notes

Intense notes of white flowers and gooseberry on the nose at first, continuing with notes of peach and apricot, suggesting its complexity and surprising personality. On the palate the acidity is vibrant, softened by intense notes of gooseberry, peach and apricot, all accompanied by a richness of taste that makes the finish long and lingering. A white with a great personality and complexity, it goes well with flavoursome white meats and intensely-flavoured fish dishes such as creamed salted codfish.
