Bersano

The Bersano Winery was founded at the beginning of the 20th century in Nizza Monferrato, in the heart of the Barbera d'Asti production area. 

Bersano Winery - How it all began

In 1935 Arturo Bersano became cellar master in the company, which had been family-run until then. He focused on the three great vines of Piedmont:

• Barbera
• Nebbiolo and
• Bracchetto.

His work in the cellar and in the vineyards and his inexhaustible pioneering and innovative spirit and inspiration soon pay off, producing quality wines that soon become the distinguishing feature of the winery. True to the Arturo Bersano motto:

"If you want to drink well, get yourself a vineyard"

The tradition continues at Bersano

For almost thirty years the Massimelli and Soave families have been running the company, following the example of Arturo Bersanos: a great role is played by the Cascine, where quality grapes are produced, modern but without losing sight of tradition. Today the Bersano wine company is one of the most important producers in Piedmont.

In the wine cellar

Even though almost a century has passed and the possibilities of winemaking techniques have modernised, Bersano is aware that the "ways" and "times" of winemaking have not changed.
Starting from soft pressing, through fermentation and ageing, each step is carried out with respect for tradition. Particular attention is paid to the ageing in wood, because this is what makes Bersano wines so unique.

The barrels

Bersano works with large barrels of Slavonian oak and tonneaux of French oak from Allier. Thanks to the optimal temperature and humidity in the wine cellar, the wines can round off in the best conditions in the cellar.
