Recioto della Valpolicella Amarone Classico Superiore 1989 DOC - Bertani

A historic Amarone, created when Amarone was still called "Recioto Amarone."

This 1989 bottle by Bertani represents an authentic fragment of classic Valpolicella: a wine that combines tradition, technique, and a vintage remembered for its elegance and slow ripening of the grapes.

1989 was a year characterized by regular weather, a dry summer, and a harvest that allowed for the selection of perfectly healthy bunches, ideal for drying. The result is an Amarone that today expresses extraordinary complexity: evolved aromas of dried plum, cherries in spirit, cocoa, sweet tobacco, and oriental spices, accompanied by a palate that is still surprisingly lively, soft, and harmonious.

Bertani, already the absolute benchmark for the denomination, followed a rigorous method: natural drying, slow fermentation, and long aging in large oak barrels. This style has allowed the wine to survive more than thirty years while maintaining its integrity, finesse, and depth.

A bottle like this isn't just a wine: it's a historical document, a collector's item that tells the story of the evolution of Amarone and Valpolicella.
