Tenuta Santa Maria di Gaetano Bertani
About the Winery
Tenuta Santa Maria is the Bertani family estate, deeply rooted in a rich winemaking tradition that dates back to the 16th century. Today, brothers Giovanni and Guglielmo Bertani uphold their father Gaetano Bertani’s legacy as award-winning winemakers, while also pushing forward with innovation and sustainability. Their family played a crucial role in the development of the Valpolicella and Soave wine regions, pioneering modern dry wines and contributing to the creation of Amarone. The estate reflects this heritage through its dedication to native grape varieties and traditional methods, enhanced by the adoption of sustainable practices and cutting-edge technology. Spanning three unique estates—Arbizzano di Negrar in Valpolicella Classica DOCG, Colognola ai Colli in Soave DOC, and a high-elevation project in Valpantena—Tenuta Santa Maria crafts wines that are a true expression of Verona’s terroir, defined by elegance, balance, and longevity.

Tasting in Valpolicella
The only "flaw": perhaps the group was a bit too large. I wasn't able to fully appreciate the tasting moment because the very talented sommelier rightly had to give a general presentation and then translate it into English for the foreign guests.
I would suggest smaller groups so as to be able to "follow" the guests a bit more during the tasting.
I am attending a course to become a sommelier and I would have liked to talk and exchange views more with the sommelier who led the wine tasting moment.
Feedback
At the do always finnish the tour in the shop to have guests to shop. Now we did leave after the wine tasting without passing the shop.
Superb experience
It would have been nice to visit the vineyards as well
Beautiful place, excellent wine,
Beautiful tasting at the estate!
Thank you for the attention shown to a celiac guest
Delightful experience
I would have perhaps liked something more than a simple packet with 2 breadsticks accompanying the 4 tastings.
I would suggest a tasting always accompanied by something more than just a small packet of breadsticks.
Relaxing
We found easy and convenient roads, shaded outdoor parking, the winery is enchanting, staff very cordial and kind.
What made it even more unique was the opportunity, after the tasting, to walk through the fields of their property, so as to walk off the wine and enjoy a beautiful, clean, natural landscape.
Tasting and tour
Accompanying the wines with a platter of cured meats and cheeses would have made the experience even better.
Excellent tasting in a splendid historic villa
