Tenuta Santa Maria di Gaetano Bertani

Tenuta Santa Maria di Gaetano Bertani is a Bertani family wine estate in Arbizzano di Negrar, Valpolicella Classica: family records in Valpolicella date to 1567, and the estate took shape in 1735. The earliest maps show its 22-hectare brolo enclosed by a wall. Giovanni and Guglielmo Bertani carry this heritage forward, preserving Valpolicella’s oldest grape varieties and giving wines time in cask.
