The mouthfeel is full-bodied and enveloping, finishing with remarkable persistence, making it the ideal companion for \u003cstrong\u003eroast red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, game and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are sourced from the vineyards of \u003cstrong\u003eValpolicella Valpantena\u003c\/strong\u003e, highlighted under the Verona designation. The area is distinguished by its \u003cstrong\u003emarl-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e rich in iron, essential for giving the wine a solid flavour structure and intense fruity expression. Following an approach true to local identity, Bertani enhances the unique features of this winegrowing ecosystem. The combination of Corvina with the other varieties creates a perfect aromatic synergy, ensuring a refined \u003cstrong\u003estructural balance\u003c\/strong\u003e between the natural spicy notes and the vibrancy of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003elong cold maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e on the skins, followed by a slow fermentation with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then racked with a slight residual sugar to complete a second fermentation in \u003cstrong\u003etraditional barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e of chestnut and cherry wood. This technical choice continues with an eighteen-month maturation phase in the same barrels, followed by a six-month rest in the bottle. The meticulous process in the cellar shapes a full-bodied red, capable of delivering accents of ripe fruit and a complex persistence that culminates in a pleasant \u003cstrong\u003ecoffee finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSecco-Bertani Original Vintage Edition 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e is an elegant tribute to the excellence of the historic winery founded in 1857.
