Description

A Vintage of Structure and Elegance
The 2004 vintage in Valpolicella was marked by a balanced growing season with moderate temperatures and steady conditions, producing wines with ripe fruit, bright acidity, and excellent structure. Amarone from this year is celebrated for its harmonious balance between richness and freshness, making it one of the standout vintages of the early 2000s.

Complex Aromatics and Velvety Palate
Now approaching two decades of age, this Amarone shows a deep garnet color with subtle brick nuances at the rim. The nose is complex and inviting, with aromas of dried cherry, fig, dark chocolate, sweet tobacco, leather, and warm spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and velvety, with rich, concentrated fruit layered with savory and spicy notes. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, supporting a long, warming, and elegant finish.

Serving and Pairing Recommendations
Serve slightly below room temperature (around 18 °C). Decanting for about an hour is recommended to allow the wine to fully open up and showcase its intricate bouquet. Perfect pairings include rich dishes such as braised short ribs, venison, aged cheeses like Grana Padano or Parmigiano-Reggiano, or simply enjoyed on its own as a meditative “vino da meditazione.”

A Collector’s Amarone Icon
The 2004 Amarone della Valpolicella Bertani is an essential addition for any serious Amarone enthusiast or collector. It represents the power, complexity, and aging potential that have made Amarone one of Italy’s most revered wines. Ideal for marking a special occasion, sharing with passionate wine lovers, or cellaring further to explore its continued evolution.
