Berta Distillerie

Known for genre-leading, intense and elegant spirits, Berta Distillerie was established in 1947 by Paolo Berta. Already an oenologist in the Asti area (with a brother producing astounding Barolo Chinato), Paolo began the setup of an operation that would bring finesse and expression to Italian grappa that was previously unseen.

Today, Distillerie Berta remains an entirely artisanal operation under its fourth generation in Roccanivo, in the Piemonte winegrowing area not far from Nizza. The distillery overlooks vineyards and 8 acres of natural park which has been reclaimed and regenerated by the family. Berta has always led the pack, due to the exacting standards set firstly by Paolo, and continued by the family team now led by Gianfranco Berta.

The Berta family is mired in their own traditional art, and is heavily involved with the artistic and cultural communities of Piemonte. Alongside operating two Relais chateaux and the Borgo Roccanivo in the immediate area, they also operate a museum and a Foundation (SoloPerGian) to support tradition and artisans in danger of obsoletion.
