Decanter invites you to an exclusive tasting with Bertani, the historic Amarone producer from Valpolicella, renowned for its timeless style and pioneering role in the development of Amarone since 1857.

This special event marks the launch of BertaniON – an evolution of Bertani’s The Library project, showcasing Bertani’s historic Amarone della Valpolicella Classico, starting with the 1958 vintage.

Guests will be guided through a curated tasting featuring some of Bertani’s most iconic wines: from Valpolicella Classico to Valpolicella Classico Superiore, followed by the Ripasso and the recent Amarone releases. The evening provides a unique chance to experience the ageworthy elegance and historical depth of Bertani’s portfolio.

In the latter part of the tasting, attendees will sample three rare vintages (1967, 1975, 2005) selected from Bertani’s cellar and presented in a limited edition of just 200 sets. Each wine offers a window onto a particular moment in time, interpreted through Bertani’s enduring winemaking vision.

Born in Sicily in 1985, Pietro Riccobono is head of winemaking at Angelini Wines & Estates, where he has worked for more than a decade.

Having grown up among vineyards and cellars, Riccobono began his career in wine in 2007, and graduated with a degree in Oenology two years later. The turning point came in 2015, when he oversaw Bertani’s first harvest at Tenuta Novare in Valpolicella. From 2018, he coordinated the production activities of the group’s three Tuscan estates: Val di Suga in Montalcino, San Leonino in Chianti Classico and Trerose in Montepulciano.

Today, leading the winemaking team across the group’s six estates, Riccobono is deeply attentive to territorial identity, expressiveness and sustainability. His profound knowledge of appellations such as Montalcino, Montepulciano, Chianti Classico and Valpolicella underpins his daily work, where expertise meets vision.
