The story
Founded in the early years of the 20th century and historically linked to the Bersano family, the company developed as a Piedmontese wine producer acquiring vineyards in areas such as the Monferrato, Barolo, Barbaresco and Gavi. Over the years it underwent changes of ownership (including a period under Seagram) and later returned to Italian hands; today its management is attributable to owning families who have maintained the connection with the territory and wine production.
