Tenimenti Angelini

1994: the founding acquisitions

Tenimenti Angelini began in 1994 with the purchase of three historic Tuscan wineries: Val di Suga in Montalcino, Tre Rose in Montepulciano and San Leonino in Castellina in Chianti. The owner, Frederico Angelini, comes from a long-established winemaking family that owns more than 1,000 acres (about 405 ha) in Marche, of which 60 acres (about 24 ha) are planted with vines for Verdicchio Classico and Classico Superiore dei Castelli di Jesi.

Growth to five companies

Collepaglia and Puiatti later joined the original three, bringing the group to five companies. In March 2010 the company added Puiatti, a Friuli white wine producer known for its wines from Collio and Isonzo.

2014: Bertani Domains

On 1 January 2014 Tenimenti Angelini and Bertani merged to form a new group, Bertani Domains. The name reflects the standing of the Bertani brand internationally. In the group's logo the name appears in parentheses, to show that its role is only to act as guardian of the individual companies.

The group's 1,600 ha include 300 ha of vineyards in Tuscany, in the Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano areas. The wineries are located at Montalcino (Val di Suga), Montepulciano (Tre Rose) and Castellina in Chianti (San Leonino). Puiatti works in Friuli, with wines from Collio and Isonzo. The family's Marche land is planted for Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi.

Annual production exceeds 1,500,000 bottles. The company continues to introduce new methods and technologies while keeping its traditional approach to winemaking.

The company states that its philosophy rests on respect for tradition, high product quality and care for its customers. It says its continuing efforts to maintain high quality standards have earned its wines worldwide recognition.
