More than a century has passed since the Bersano winery was founded. The exact date is 1907, as proudly recalled on the home page of the company's website. We are in Nizza Monferrato, the heart of the Barbera d'Asti district. The real turning point, however, came only a few years later, in 1935, when Arturo Bersano, a man of rare intelligence and culture, a lawyer by family pride and a winemaker by passion, took control of the winery, which until then had been a family business selling its wines only regionally. His work was inspired by the motto “if you want to drink well, buy a vineyard”. A philosophy that, as a true pioneer, he would follow throughout his life. Thus, over time, Bersano and, after him, the Massimelli and Soave families, owners of the winery, consolidated an impressive collection of farmhouses. Here, without forgetting the power of tradition, quality grapes are still produced today, from which the region's typical wines are made. Particular attention has always been paid to the wood used for ageing, a true company asset. The Bersano Cellars house large oak barrels and tonneaux where, thanks to constant temperature and humidity, the wines mature slowly for years. Today, Bersano is considered one of the most important wineries in Piedmont.
