A Pillar of Tradition and Excellence in Asti Spumante Production
Nestled in the heart of Nizza Monferrato, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Italy’s most esteemed wine regions, Bersano Historical Cellars stands as a beacon of heritage, quality, and innovation in the production of Asti Spumante and other iconic Piedmontese wines. Since 1907, Bersano has remained steadfast in one clear vision: to capture and share the essence of Langhe and Monferrato’s wine culture and convivial spirit with the world. It’s an ambitious goal, one that many might deem impossible – but for us, it’s a commitment we honor every day. The visionary spirit of Arturo Bersano sparked this journey, and his legacy continues to inspire. The Massimelli family, first led by Ugo and now by Federica, along with her sisters and son, have proudly carried the torch forward, ensuring that Bersano’s dedication to excellence endures across generations. Bersano’s name is synonymous with the rich cultural and viticultural history of the Monferrato hills, where wine has been a way of life for centuries.
Bersano’s Asti Spumante – the wine for celebration and life
At Bersano, the production of Asti Spumante DOCG reflects the cellar’s commitment to excellence. Made exclusively from Moscato Bianco grapes, hand-harvested in the sun-kissed vineyards of Monferrato and Asti, Bersano’s Asti Spumante embodies the soul of its terroir. With its vibrant aromas of fresh flowers, ripe peaches, and a touch of honey, complemented by a lively effervescence, the wine offers a sensory experience that is both celebratory and timeless. Using the Charmat-Martinotti method, Bersano ensures that the delicate aromas and natural sweetness of Moscato Bianco are preserved, resulting in a sparkling wine that pairs beautifully with desserts, light pastries, and celebratory moments.
