Cantina Bertani, an old winery that originated in 1857 with the unification of Italy, with the desire and pride to represent the excellence of a new nation with a millenary culture. Catullus it is a drink that matures in barrels of 75 hectoliters of French oak for 12 months, plus a further year in concrete tanks of 100 hectoliters, and refines in the bottle for at least 6 months.
In the glass it shows an intense ruby red color. The olfactory examination reveals a refined wine from extremely seductive aromas defined by the typical fruity notes of black cherry and cherry, and the delicate aromas of white pepper from the Corvina grape, combined with sweet spicy notes of chocolate and vanilla.
When tasted it denotes from the first sip a great drinkability, typical of Valpolicella. An elegant, harmonious and balanced red with a velvety tannic structure and an evident and prolonged persistence on the palate of aromatic scents. The regal finish is soft, fresh and savory, making it an excellent wine in pairing with roast and grilled meat dishes, cold cuts and cheeses that are not too seasoned, but also well-seasoned first courses.
Catullus is also an excellent wine to be tasted alone to fully enjoy the extraordinary organoleptic qualities. The elegant wooden case that contains it gives this wine, already precious in itself, that extra touch to make it the perfect gift.
