Background | Of | Bersano

The Essence of Piedmont’s Finest wines, since 1907. Bersano has kept one, clear vision: to bottle up the essence of Langhe and Monferrato’s wine culture and convivial spirit and spread it across the globe. It’s a bold goal: for many, an impossible feat – but for us, it’s a commitment we strive to uphold every single day. Arturo Bersano’s visionary spirit ignited our journey. Following his legacy, the torch has been carried by the Massimelli family: first Ugo, and now, Federica, joined by her sisters and son.

From the vineyard to the cellar to our museums:everything we do, we do for Piedmont. This means selecting and refining only the finest grapes of native varieties from our 230 hectares of vineyards – an invaluable viticultural heritage and a reflection of Langhe and Monferrato, one that allows us to reveal the diverse character of the region through our wines.

But that’s not all: we’re also dedicated to preserving the farming traditions in our historic museums in Nizza Monferrato and our 10 cascine, farmsteads holding centuries of stories, capturing the essence of Italy’s winemaking history. And it’s not just about history – we’re all about bringing people together. We’re enthusiastic promoters of the conviviality at the core of Piedmontese culture – our doors are always open for those who want to join us and learn more.

Located in the Asti region, Bersano is currently the largest privately held winery in Piedmont with 10 estates and over 230 hectares under vine in the best areas of Monferrato and Langhe. The winery was founded in 1907 by Guisseppe Bersano, and brought to prominence by his nephew Arturo in the 1950’s and 1960’s. In 1985, the Massimelli and Soave families purchased Bersano and immediately returned focus to the vineyards and restoring the quality of the wines which had languished under corporate ownership in the 70’s and 80’s. The result is bright, fresh, approachable classic wines in the traditional style produced under the steady hand of acclaimed winemaker Roberto Morosinotto.
