The Bertani winery was born in 1857, founded by the two brothers Giovan Battista and Gaetano Bertani, with a common enthusiasm and avant-garde spirit in producing refined wines with a strong temperament. Two fundamental years for the company are 1922, which sees the Bertani brothers in France with Professor Guyot to learn advanced viticulture techniques, and 1923 which sees the patent of the Real Casa, with the Soave being poured at the settlement dinner. of King George VI, the stammering king of England from the film “The King's Speech”.

A success story that continues with the presentation of the first Amarone , vintage 1958, which over the years knows how to maintain its deeply traditional identity, despite the phenomenon of “parkerization” in 1995 that wants more robust and concentrated red wines.

Professionalism, new breeding systems and great attention to quality are the development lines that Bertani has been able to maintain constant over time.
