Bertani

Veneto

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 villa and nurtures one of the largest libraries of amazing old vintages in the region, some of which can be made available on request. There is even a cache of 1928 “Acinatico” which had been hidden behind a brick wall from the German occupiers and not rediscovered until 1984. However, Bertani is not just history and rows of large, old Slavonian oak vats. The company has continuously been at the forefront of innovation. The company vineyard holdings now comprise 200 hectares in the classic areas of Valpolicella, Valpantena, Soave and Lake Garda.
