WINE DESCRIPTION

Bertani has made an indelible mark on Veneto winemaking, especially in Amarone production. Their rich history spans 150+ years, marked by innovation, tradition, and royal recognition. They cultivate Pinot Grigio in Venezia Giulia, where gravel subsoils with iron-rich clay nurture 10-15-year-old vines. Fermentation occurs in steel at a controlled 58°F–60°F, followed by four months of tank aging. The wine exudes aromas of golden delicious apples, ripe pear, and peach, boasting density and a balanced acidity-plushness interplay. Ideal with light starters, salads, fish pasta, risottos, and light meats, Bertani's Pinot Grigio reflects their unwavering commitment to quality.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Bertani Velante Pinot Grigio is a delightful white wine that hails from the Veneto region of Italy.The classic characteristics of a Pinot Grigio with elegance and finesse we do have here. On the nose, Bertani Velante Pinot Grigio offers enticing aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and citrus zest. These vibrant fruit notes are complemented by delicate floral undertones, adding a touch of complexity to the bouquet. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with a medium body and a lively acidity that brings balance to the wine. Flavors of juicy white peach, lemon, and a hint of tropical fruit dance on the tongue, creating a harmonious and enjoyable tasting experience. Bertani Velante Pinot Grigio is best served chilled and makes for a perfect aperitif or a versatile companion to a variety of dishes. Its vibrant acidity and fruit-forward profile make it an excellent pairing with seafood, light pasta dishes, and fresh salads.
