Bertani 1998 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- $70
There’s a particular elegance here that is impossible to beat: The wine is spectacular overall, but never too ornate, and earns high praise for its purity. Aromas of resin, tar, apple and almond are distinct and vibrant and the wine delivers firm, dusty tannins and excellent length.

Bertani 2000 Red (Amarone della Valpolicella Classico)
- Cellar Selection
- $136
Bertani keeps a library of vintages that remain available. This 2000 is absolutely gorgeous, with exotic spice, clove, milled pepper, black fruit, dried apple skin, tobacco and cola. The complexity is extraordinary and so is the smoothness and quality of its fine tannins. Hold this wine another 10 years.

It could age for 10 years or more.
