Sereole Soave Classico

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.

The Sereole vineyard is located in the Soave Classico zone, between the municipalities of Soave and Monteforte d’Alpone. The soils are marl-limestone, with vines that average 20 years old and are guyot-trained.

A soft pressing of the grapes, with a light skin contact. The grapes are destemmed and gentley crushed with partial contact on the skins at a low temperature of 45°F, followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature of about 60°F in 75-hl French oak barrels. Aging takes place on the lees in large French oak vats for 4-5 months, followed by at least three months of bottle maturation.

The floral bouquet has overtones of elderflower and citrus, developing into sweeter aromas of yellow-fleshed fruits such as apricot, pineapple and melon. The palate is plush and complex with a slight mineral note.
