BERSANO S.r.l. - Nizza Monferrato
Its name, Artur.O, conceals the nature of this intriguing Metodo Classico. The 'O' in Arturo (which is the name of the founder of the Nizza Monferrato winery) can also be read as a 'zero', indicating the super low dosage of this sparkling wine. Pas Dosè, this classic method bubbly from Barsano is the result of a very long elaboration. It is made from Pinot Noir grapes vinified in white and sparkling with a rest on the lees for a good 66 months. So well over 5 years! In the glass, it has a beautiful straw-yellow colour with golden reflections. The perlage, fine and persistent, causes the surface of the wine to be covered with a beautiful dense froth after being poured. The nose is striking for its intense aromas, with characteristic notes of yeast and bread crust, then vanilla, citrus fruits and white flowers. In the mouth, it is fresh and savoury. A beautifully structured wine, it enjoys a pleasant persistence. Perfect as an aperitif, it is the bubbly to serve throughout the meal. With important hors d'oeuvres, including meat dishes, such as Piedmontese Fassona battuta al coltello or the traditional vitello tonnato. But above all, it is perfect with fish dishes.
More than a century has passed since the foundation of the Bersano company. 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 sold its wines only 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.
