Bersano: Guardians of Piedmont's Vineyard Heritage



In the lush, undulating landscapes of Piedmont, where the Monferrato and Langhe hills rise majestically, Bersano has etched its name into the annals of viticulture history. With more than 230 hectares of vineyards nestled in these UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Bersano stands as a testament to the region's unparalleled vineyard heritage. This expanse of land, dedicated to the cultivation of traditional grape varieties, symbolizes not just the Piedmont style but also its esteemed position on the global wine stage.


For over a century, Bersano has committed to a philosophy of quality and authenticity, meticulously overseeing every aspect of the wine production process from vine to table. This holistic approach ensures that each bottle of Bersano wine is a pure expression of the land from which it comes. The choice to cultivate only traditional grapes—those that have always found their home on the sunniest hilltops—underscores a dedication to preserving the legacy and integrity of Piedmontese winemaking.


The vineyards of Bersano are a vibrant palette of Piedmont's most celebrated varietals. Barbera, flourishing in the optimal terroirs of Nizza Monferrato, gives life to the esteemed Barbera d’Asti. Nebbiolo vines, rooted in the storied soils of the Langhe, achieve their fullest expression in the iconic Barolo wines. Brachetto and Moscato, basking in the Asti hillsides' warmth, captivate with their extraordinary aromas and refreshing vivacity. Ruchè, a native gem, thrives in its ancestral lands around Castagnole Monferrato, a varietal reborn and revered for its distinctive excellence.


Bersano's vineyards, largely consolidated around historic farmsteads atop the region's hilltops, embody the essence of crus—a term denoting parcels of land distinguished by their superior quality. The uniformity of soil types and microclimates across these estates ensures that each wine is a reflection of its unique terroir, imbued with characteristics that speak to the very heart of its origin.
