Bertani Domains operates with 6 wineries in Italy, for an overall total of 1,700 hectares of land, 460 of which are under vines, and an overall production of approximately 4 million bottles per year. In its three historic Tuscan wineries, it produces high-end wines with the three designations of origin: Brunello di Montalcino (from the Val di Suga vineyards in Montalcino), Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (from TreRose in Montepulciano) and Chianti Classico (from San Leonino, in Castellina in Chianti). In the Marche region, the Fazi Battaglia winery, a historic brand in Italian wine, is well-known for its production of Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi Classico. The Puiatti winery in Romans d’Isonzo (Gorizia) is devoted to the production of fine white wines from the Friuli area: while Bertani is known mainly for its production of Amarone della Valpolicella. In 2018, Bertani became an Agricultural Enterprise, thus making its wine production exclusively reliant on its own vineyards.’
