Tenuta Santa Maria di Gaetano Bertani, a family-owned estate, masterfully blends a renowned winemaking philosophy, storied heritage, and innovative viticulture. Its wines, crafted exclusively from estate-grown grapes, reflect Verona’s varied terroirs, uniting signature clones of native varieties with certified sustainable methods.

The properties encompasses in Valpolicella Classica a grand 1700s neoclassical complex with its frescoed villa, monumental cellar, and historic vineyards, recognized as national heritage, producing uniquely elegant Amarone Riserva, Valpolicella, Ripasso and Recioto. A second historic winery in Colognola ai Colli focuses on Soave and the crus Torre Pieve Chardonnay and Decima Aurea Merlot. A high-altitude vineyard project is underway in Grezzana Valpantena.

Today, brothers Giovanni and Guglielmo Bertani uphold their father Gaetano’s legacy, fusing tradition with an unwavering commitment to excellence.
