Score 92/100 · Drink 1990-2028, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024
This vintage will always be remembered for the severe winter cold snap that caused untold agricultural damage in Italy. The Bertani 1985 Amarone della Valpolicella reveals a medium-lean presentation and a lighter appearance. The nose is still lively with a touch of green herb or pine cone resin. Beyond that are dark tones of bitter chocolate with toasted cumin seed. This refreshingly streamlined style gives this wine an elegant drinking style that shows well today.
