Bertani Winery Guide
Winery Overview
Bertani has been a pioneer in Valpolicella since the 1850s. Founded by brothers Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani, this historic estate was at the forefront of bottling and exporting fine Italian wines, establishing a global reputation early in its history.
As a renowned Amarone trailblazer, with its inaugural vintage released in 1958, Bertani’s wines have adorned the tables of nobility and were even honored with the endorsement of the Italian Royal House in 1923. Yet, despite its regal connections, Bertani remains a beacon of progress in winemaking, blending timeless techniques with cutting-edge technology to create exceptional wines.
The Bertani portfolio is a testament to diversity and quality, featuring its prestigious, award-winning Amarone, which captured the acclaimed three-glass award from Gambero Rosso. The ‘Valpolicella Valpantena’ collection showcases their crowd-pleasing Secco Bertani Valpolicella. Meanwhile, their Soave wines epitomize the elegance of delicate whites, and their Lake Garda selections speak to the region’s unique terroir.
