Summary In a late afternoon of April 1320, in a magnificent castle close to Verona, Federico della Scala, Count of Valpolicella, proceeded to invest the first Knights of Recioto. This Order has come down to the present day and we will discover it together with Francesca and her guest, Xin, with whom we will also visit the cult winery where Amarone della Valpolicella was born, Bertani. Bertani production is known worldwide for its uniqueness, consistency and coherence of recognition in the style of its products. Founded in 1857 by brothers Bertani, Bertani is a sacred name for all fans of the red Valpolicella and Valpantena: the winery has a unique collection of bottles of historic vintages from 1959 to the present, all affordable. Bertani produced the legendary bottle of Recioto della Valpolicella Acinatico 1928 too, of which there are (subkey) yet very few bottles. The story of Acinatico nearly myth. In 1928, following an exceptional quality harvest, Bertani brothers elected the best grapes grown in Valpolicella and Valpantena and vinified after prolonged drying. The wine was aged for more than ten years in large wooden barrels and then hidden, covering every single bottle of wax to ensure further protection, during World War II. Found in 1984 in perfect condition, it has become the historical heritage of the company and of the Italian oenology. After more than eighty years Acinatico is still one of the best wines in the world, sold at auction by Christie's at around 2,000 euro per bottle.
