Bersano Vini

Bersano Vini is a wine producer located in the winemaking region of Piedmont in northwestern Italy. The estate has its origins in Asti in the early part of the 20th Century and today makes a range of regional wines, including Barbera d'Asti, Barolo, Barbaresco, Monferrato and Moscato d'Asti.

The estate now comprises a total of 230 hectares (570 acres) of Piedmontese countryside and is owned by the Massimelli and Soave families. The oldest of the Bersano Vini vineyards lie at the company's 12-ha (30-acre) Cascina Cremosina estate in Nizza Monferrato, in the Barbera d'Asti DOCG zone, while the newest addition to the portfolio is located in Ruche di Castagnole Monferrato and is planted to 32ha (79 acres) of vine.

Red grape varieties like Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera and Brachetto lead the way in Bersano's portfolio. In terms of white grape varieties, Cortese makes an appearance in several expressions of Gavi and Cortese dell'Alto Monferrato, and Bersano Vini also makes several Arneis- and Moscato-based wines. The estate also makes a collection of both still and sparkling wines from international grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. In the cellars, the wines are aged in both large Slavonian oak casks and French oak barrels.

Bersano Vini also produces a number of Tuscan wines under its Granducato label, including Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montalcino, Morellino di Scansano and Chianti Classico.
