What Bertani Domains does

Bertani Domains, operating commercially as Cantine Bertani, is a historic Italian winery founded in 1857 in Grezzana (Verona), Veneto, and owned since 2013 by Angelini Wines & Estates. The company produces premium still wines from the Valpolicella Classica and Valpantena sub-zones, anchored by its flagship Amarone della Valpolicella Classico produced via the traditional appassimento grape-drying method and aged in 750-litre Veronese chestnut and cherry casks. The portfolio is structured across four collections: Tradition (Amarone Classico, Catullo Ripasso), Territory (Valpantena wines, Soave, Lugana), Cru (single-vineyard Novare expressions), and Original Vintage (Soave Vintage, Secco Vintage), plus a Classics line. Annual production totals approximately 10,600 hectolitres across roughly 1.4 million bottles, with Tradition deliberately held at minimal volume (~50 hl) for scarcity positioning.

The business operates a multi-channel direct-to-consumer model combining proprietary e-commerce (shop.bertani.net, restricted to Italian territory with a 10-bottle-per-vintage cap), on-site cellar sales at the Grezzana winery, and paid wine tourism experiences (€70 per person for Valpolicella Classica tours, €150 per person for the Library Experience). A Wine Club membership (library.bertani.net) provides recurring engagement and exclusive access to The Library, a curated vertical collection of 48+ historic Amarone vintages from 1958 to 2015 selected by Master of Wine Nick Jackson. The company is expanding through limited-edition product lines such as the BertaniON Capsule Collection (1967, 1975, 2005 vintages) and a three-year Casa Bertani partnership at The Roof in Cortina d'Ampezzo timed to the 2026 Winter Olympics. Customer segments span premium individual consumers, wine collectors, wine tourists, luxury hospitality (Michelin-starred venues including Casa Perbellini and Ristorante Tivoli), and corporate gifting clients. The company reported no revenue in the source data; revenue mechanics are inferred from disclosed production volumes, experience pricing, and partnership structure.
