Bertelegni Cellars: passion and tradition in organic wine production

L’Oltrepò Pavese vanta una tradizione vitivinicola secolare, riconosciuta in tutto il mondo. Tra le realtà più autentiche e rappresentative di questo legame con la terra spiccano le Cantine Bertelegni, un’azienda familiare che ha fatto della produzione biologica e della sostenibilità la propria missione.

The history of Cantine Bertelegni has deep roots in the past, dating back to when great-grandfather Alessandro planted the first vine. Since then, the passion for viticulture has been passed down from generation to generation, from siblings Mariuccia and Dino to Andrea and Stefano, the current custodians of this precious heritage. Their expertise and respect for nature have enabled the winery to obtain organic certification without altering traditional winemaking methods, continuing a tradition based on sustainable practices free of chemical pesticides.

Adopting an organic approach means avoiding synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, protecting the ecosystem, and ensuring a higher-quality product. This cultivation method not only safeguards consumers’ health but also enhances the terroir of Oltrepò Pavese, preserving its unique characteristics.

Cantine Bertelegni is not only synonymous with excellent wine but also offers immersive experiences in the heart of the vineyards. Among the most appreciated activities are tastings, aperitifs, picnics, and dinners among the vines, as well as the evocative “Spa in the Vineyard,” an exclusive experience that allows guests to enjoy professional massages in the open air, with a glass of wine in hand. A unique opportunity to connect with nature and experience moments of pure relaxation.

Cantine Bertelegni stands out for producing mid-to-high-end wines that represent the territory. Among its most prestigious labels are:

• Pinot Nero Metodo Classico, an Oltrepò Pavese excellence;
• Cuvée-Champagne Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Meunier;
• Pinot Nero Riserva, vinified in red and aged in barrels;
• Viperio, an award-winning and highly appreciated red wine;
• Riesling, Barbera, and Bonarda, symbols of local tradition;
• Pinot-Chardonnay Rosé, the latest addition to the winery.

Cantine Bertelegni will also be a key player in the event “50 Shades of Pinot Noir”, presenting Alexander Magnvs, a Pinot Nero Metodo Classico Brut aged for 36 months.

Opting for organic wine is not just a matter of taste but also an act of responsibility towards the environment and health. It means supporting sustainable agricultural practices and preserving the land for future generations. Cantine Bertelegni, with its commitment to producing high-quality wines that respect nature, is a benchmark in Oltrepò Pavese for those seeking authenticity and excellence.
