Tenuta Santa Maria is a private estate of the Bertani family. Located in the Arbizzano frazione of Negrar, one of the most highly regarded terroirs of the Valpolicella Classica, the 16th century Villa Mosconi Bertani and its vineyards are intertwined with the history of the regions' most famous wine - Amarone. The great grandfather of today's proprietor, Gaetano Bertani, along with his brother Giovan Battista, founded the estate in 1857. The family was responsbile for the introduction of the term 'Amarone', coined in 1936 within the very cellars of the villa complex in reference to a wine the Bertani family had been producing since the early 1900s under the name 'Recioto Secco'. The estate, along with the Colognola ai Colli property in the Val d'illasi to the east, were retained post 2013 when the Gruppo Bertani was sold. Giovanni & Guglielmo, work to express the quality of this land by combining traditional methods, selected technology, and experience passed down through generations of family tradition. The vineyards are in organic conversion.
Tenuta Santa Maria Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG Classico 50cl 2021
14% abv
Ruby red colour with garnet reflections. The sweet aromas of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry with notes of undergrowth and wet earth complete the picture. On the palate it manages to combine its full and opulent nature with a pleasant and balanced sweetness. A long finish of delicious floral and spicy notes and a velvety and elegant tannin.
Corvina 70%, Corvinone 20% & Rondinella 10%. Grapes, which are hand picked at the beginning of September and laid out to dry on the traditional arelle for a delicate drying from 140 to 150 days ( around 5 months in comparison to Amarone which is around 3 months). During this time, in addition to the increase in sugar content, an interesting organic evolution takes place which leads to the development of the typical dried grape aromas in addition to those of the fresh grapes. This is followed by a soft pressing and a long maceration and fermentation in stainless steel which is completed in 30 days on average. The aging takes place in French oak barriques which give it an immediatly recognizable character of great complexity and elegance.
180g/l residual sugar.
