Producer tasting notes: (2004 vintage) "Dark purple red colour. On the nose it is striking for the intensity and the wide range of aromas and very distinct flavors, like notes of plum, cherry and black currant jam, followed by notes of spices, hay, tea leaf, licorice and cocoa. Very pleasant and rich in taste on the palate revealing its structure. Complex tannins, very sweet and perfectly balanced with high acid structure. The aftertaste is long, fruity and wipe." - Bertani

Winter was wet and cold restoring the usual Valpolicella climate conditions. The regular spring enabled a normal blooming allowing a regular production in terms of quantity. There were splendid sunny days and cool nights during vintage time, the ideal combination for the maturation of Corvina grapes that were colourful and healthy.

2004 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2022
Funkelndes Rubin mit leichtem Granatrand. Zeigt sich etwas verschlossen, nach getrockneten Steinpilzen, feine Gewürznoten, nach reifen dunklen Kirschen, spannend. Zupackendes, griffiges Tannin mit süßem Kern, breitet sich sehr lange aus, salzig, hat sehr gute Spannung, hallt lange nach.
2004 Vintage
Tasted: Apr 2013
Developed, ruby red colour; fine nose with mature aromas, complex spiciness, tobacco, cedar wood, dried fruit and a full, rich palate with fine harmony and complexity, attractive, traditional style with fine length, balance and drinkability today.
2004 Vintage
Tasted: Jan 2011
Aged in traditional oak casks for six long years, Bertani's beautiful 2004 Amarone delivers the best of Valpolicella. It shows beautiful complexity and elegance that is articulated by tobacco, brown sugar, cassis and sweet tobacco flavors. There's substance and length on the close with a delicately smoky aftertaste.

2004 Vintage Learn more
Overall, the 2004 vintage was a bit of a mixed bag throughout the wine world and few regions managed to produce spectacular wines of note. Much of Europe suffered from a lackluster summer, followed by heavy rains just before the harvest, which hampered the results.
In France, Bordeaux had a reasonably good year, although it s...
