Label / history

Bersano was founded in 1907, when Giuseppe Bersano bought an estate from Count Cremosino. Originally a small family business, it was transformed into a large company by Giuseppe’s second son in the 1950s. Its main vineyards and winery are in Piedmont. The company processes 3,200 tonnes of grapes annually; 85% of its wine is made from estate-grown fruit and 15% from grapes bought from local growers.
