Classics resist the passage of time. The classics defy time. That’s Bertani: beyond fashion and method wines, always faithful to an elegant style, with color that is never exaggerated. Above all, it is always dry. An iconic wine, full of personality, where elegance always prevails over power.

Complete description
Vintage Description:
The wine opens with aromas of red plums, red cherries, and raspberries, cocoa powder, tea, and violets. On the palate, it is earthy, with notes of tobacco and dried red and black fruits, which blend well with herbs, robust spices, and elegant tannins. All leading to a fresh acidity that brings the finish to life. (Jeff Porter - Wine Enthusiast, 1st Sep 2023)wine:
