A beautiful bottle that certainly does not go unnoticed. A minimal but colourful label that catches the eye. But let us not make the mistake of stopping at outward appearances. The Barbera d'Asti DOCG 4 Sorelle di Bersano, in fact, is a true hymn to Piedmontese tradition. We are in the heart of the Asti area, where the soils are limestone-clayey, composed of marl and sand deposited over millions of years. This unique terroir, combined with a temperate climate with continental influences, guarantees the cultivation of high quality Barbera grapes. Specifically, the Bersano vineyards are cultivated at approximately 300 metres above sea level, enjoying optimal exposure to the sun, which favours full ripening of the grapes. Harvested by hand and selectively, the harvest begins between the second and third decade of September. In the cellar, the grapes are initially subjected to maceration in steel at a controlled temperature. After processing, the Barbera d'Asti 4 Sorelle then matures for a minimum of 4 months in steel tanks, thus preserving the wine's freshness and liveliness while enhancing its fruity and floral characteristics. Intense ruby colour with violet hues, the nose immediately reveals a broad and lively bouquet with notes of blackberry and fresh cherries, wisteria, sweet tobacco and liquorice. In the mouth, then, it conquers with its fullness, savouriness and freshness. The spicy, fruity and floral notes merge into a persistent and satisfying finish.
More than a century has passed since the foundation of the Bersano winery. The precise date is 1907, as proudly recalled on the home page of the company website. We are in Nizza Monferrato, the heart of the Barbera d'Asti district. The real turning point, however, came only a few years later, in 1935, when Arturo Bersano, a rare man in terms of intelligence and culture, a lawyer by family pride and a vine grower by passion, took control of the Cantina, which until then had been a family-run business and only sold its wines regionally. His work was inspired by the motto 'if you want to drink well, buy a vineyard'. A philosophy that, like a true pioneer, he would follow for the rest of his life. So over time, Bersano and, after him, the Massimelli and Soave families, owners of the Casa Vinicola, consolidated an impressive farmstead. Here, without forgetting the strength of tradition, quality grapes are still produced from which typical wines of the region are made. Particular attention has always been paid to the wood for ageing, the company's true asset. Cantine Bersano, in fact, keep large oak casks and tonneaux where, thanks to the constant temperature and humidity, the wines mature slowly for years. Today, Bersano is considered one of the most important wineries in Piedmont.
