Bertani's impact on Veneto wine making, particularly in Amarone production, is so considerable that "Bertani" and "Amarone" are nearly synonymous. While remaining mindful of their rich history reaching back over 150 years, 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.

Their 2009 vintage was particularly delicious, rating 95 points from James Suckling. When enjoying, one will first experience notes of plum, cherry and morello cherry on the nose, but the bouquet will open to present a greater variety of tones: nuts, tea leaves, licorice, and spices. On the palate there are hints of red berry fruits, softened by plush vanilla notes, in perfect harmony with the acidity and tannins. It can be drunk with red meat, game, and mature cheeses, but it is also perfect as a meditation wine at the end of a meal.
