Velante Due Uve

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 grapes are grown in the Romans d’Isonzo area, which has gravelly soil. Double Guyot trained vines are an average age of 10-15 years old. The harvest is done at the beginning of September.

Fermentation takes place off the skins in steel tanks at a temperature of around 60°F. The wine only sees stainless steel until bottling, followed by three months’ bottle maturation.

The typical aromas of the Sauvignon are tangy on the nose; sage, ripe peach, elderflower and green pepper. The Pinot Grigio dominates on the palate, with good balance between tanginess and crisp acidity. A lingering aftertaste. Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with salads, delicate flavored pasta dishes and white meat.
