Love for the vineyard is a deep bond that unites the winegrower to his land, and it is this passion that has led the Bertelegni family for over a hundred years in the production of organic wine
Viticulture in the Oltrepò Pavese has a long history and tradition that is recognised throughout the world. Undoubtedly, Cantine Bertelegni fully represents this bond.
The working philosophy, which has always been followed, is to operate with full respect for nature and the environment without the use of pesticides or herbicides, approaching the land with traditional methods. It was not at all difficult for this company to obtain organic certification as it did not have to change any working methods but simply continue the long family tradition.
The Bertelegni family‘s first vine was planted by their great-grandfather Alessandro. It is a 100-year history that has come down to the present day through the Bertelegni siblings, Mariuccia and Dino, and today by Andrea and Stefano. It is a hundred-year history that has come down to our days thanks to the immense love for this land. This precious inheritance, which has come to Andrea and Stefano who now run these cellars, is constantly being enriched thanks to their tenacity, ability and communicative experience.
Deciding to have organic production means not using synthetic fertilisers and chemical pesticides so as to protect the vines, improve the quality of the wine and avoid its transmission into the body of those who drink it. This approach, based on ecological and sustainable principles, aims to minimise the negative impact on the land and people involved in wine production.
At the Bertelegni Cellars it is possible to organise various events, such as picnics, aperitifs, snacks or dinners, without forgetting an exclusive Bertelegni Cellars event: ‘Spa in the Vineyard‘, i.e. the possibility of receiving professional massages in the midst of the rows of vines, with a chalice in hand. Imagining tasting a glass of wine surrounded by the wonder of the vineyards, immersed in nature, sitting among the bunches of grapes in the shade of the rows of vines is undoubtedly a magnificent sensation, all accompanied by the tasting of typical local products.
With regard to wine production, Cantine Bertelegni offer medium-high-end products, typical of the territory, from pure Pinot Noir classic method to cuvee-champagne Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, meunier to Pinot Noir Riserva, vinified in red, barricaded, up to the red wine of the territory, Viperio, multi-awarded and appreciated, passing through traditional products such as Riesling Barbera, Bonarda and the newcomer Pinot-Chardonnay rosé.
