The name (pronounced Do-Ay OO-vay) means “two grapes,” which aptly describes this beguiling and innovative estate-bottled blend of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Wine maker notes Grapes for this blend are grown in Bertani’s southeast-facing Ciusa vineyard, located at an altitude of 492 - 656 feet above sea level. The soil is of lava-basaltic origin. During the day, the vines benefit from the warmth of the sun; cool nights ensure an enhanced aroma. The vines are grown on a trellis system: spurring cordon, 4,000 vines per hectare for Pinot Grigio, and 8,000 vines a hectare for Sauvignon Blanc.
Technical notes Grape Varieties - 50% Pinot Grigio and 50% Sauvignon Blanc Vinification - Grapes are fermented separately at 68°F. The two wines are blended in January after harvest, transferred to Stainless Steel and remain on their lees until the summer. The Pinot Grigio gives structure and elegance, Sauvignon Blanc lends aroma and freshness.
Producer Prosperous wine merchants who believed that quality winemaking held the key to the future, the Bertanis invested their funds in buying some of the finest vineyards in the province and making their own wines. Consequently, unlike many other local producers, Bertani owns its own vineyards and so is able to oversee the entire winemaking cycle from start to finish. Recognition and success followed swiftly as Bertani became one of the first Veronese producers to export its wines on a significant scale. In the early years Bertani spearheaded a campaign to underscore the potential of Verona’s Valpolicella Valpantena wine district. The release of its Secco-Bertani Valpantena brand, still in production over 150 years later, is responsible for putting this DOC on the map. The late 1950s saw Bertani take center stage again, with the launch of a new-style Recioto della Valpolicella. Through the introduction of longer aging techniques, this traditionally sweet or sparkling red wine was dramatically transformed into the dry, opulent red we know today as Amarone, one of Italy’s most revered red wines. Recent years have been no less eventful. In 1986 an extraordinary cache of 1928 Recioto della Valpolicella Acinatico was discovered, bricked up behind the walls of a farmhouse on a Bertani estate where it had lain undisturbed since the twilight years of World War II. Tastings by experts confirm that the wine’s quality remains intact. A superb vintage, as exceptional as it is rare, it is served exclusively at charity events hosted by Bertani. To maintain its extensive vineyards, Bertani engages the skills of some of Italy’s most eminent viticulturalists. From its vineyards to its cellars, Bertani offers a fascinating and memorable introduction to Veronese winemaking at its best, where progressive techniques and equipment are allied with extensive experience and a deeply felt respect for tradition.
