Bersano, the prestigious Italian wine label with vineyards and estates in the heart of the Barbera d’Asti district, has been lauded for its quality wines in a number of prominent wine publications for 2011. Bersano, imported and distributed in Malta by P. Cutajar & Co Ltd of Notabile Road, Mriehel, has been given credit and mentions in several Italian wine guides and annuals.
“Bersano boasts excellent quality and outstanding versatility. Congratulations, a glass that continues appreciably to grow” said Luca Maroni in his Annuario 2011. The Annuario gave Bersano’s Generala Nizza Barbera D’Asti Doc Superiore 2007 a ‘Best Wine’ category. The same wine won a ‘Golden Star’ from the Guida Vinibuoni d’Italia 2011.
“Bersano is a mark of assured quality and their wines are rich in aromas, distinctive, meaningful and reliable. This year both Barolo got excellent scores and we have been particularly impressed by the Gavi” said the Italian Sommelier Association in the publication Duemilavini.
2011 Vini D’Italia, part of a series of publications Le Guide de L’Espresso lauded Bersano’s Barolo Riserva 2004 – “an exceptional Barolo Riserva, one with the best characteristics from this winery” were this guide’s comments.
Other accolades for Bersano’s wide range of wines also came from I Vini di Veronelli 2011 and Gambero Rosso’s Vini D’Italia 2011 – “good confirmations for this great winery that has some of the most beautiful of all the vineyards of Barbera d’Asti,” they said.
“It is always a great pleasure to see wines imported to Malta by P. Cutajar getting accolades and awards,” said Sarah Portelli, Retail Sales Director at P. Cutajar & Co. Ltd. “The Maltese consumer can pick any of these award-winning Bersano wines from the supermarket stores, or alternatively order them at leading restaurants as the perfect accompaniment to lunch or dinner. Alternatively they can pop by The Store – our flagship shop in Mriehel.”
In Nizza Monferrato, the heart of the Barbera d’Asti district and home of the Bersano winery for almost a hundred years, a team of talented experienced oenologists dedicate great care and passion to these carefully selected grapes. Starting with gentle pressing and continuing with traditional but controlled wine-making techniques, the use of advanced technologies and concluding with the choice of woods to be used for ageing and refinement, Bersano creates great wines, the quality of which is confirmed by regular awards.
