Tenuta Santa Maria Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Brolo dei Poeti DOCG

Amarone Classico Riserva Brolo dei Poeti is a tribute to esteemed winemaster Gaetano Bertani, whose influence has been key in establishing the great reputation of the Amarone denomination since the 1950s. This unique wine, honoring the rich artistic legacy of our estate where the renowned 18th-century poet Ippolito Pindemonte once resided, is carefully crafted from a selection of indigenous grapes dried using the appassimento method, a technique dating back to the Roman Empire. Following the family tradition of extended aging, the wine undergoes a fifteen-year maturation process prior to bottling.
