Distillerie Berta

Distillerie Berta is a family that has been handing down its values for three generations with the desire to tell the story of the Monferrato area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, through its products of excellence.

The Berta family's success has its origins in 1947, when Paolo Berta established Distillerie Berta, the first label to have experimented with and aged grappa in wooden barrels.

Today, more than 30 different qualities of grappa and 7 types of liqueurs are produced and exported all over the world.

Distillerie Berta is entrepreneurial spirit as well as team spirit; in fact, in recent years it has been able to expand its business by successfully entering the world of hospitality to give its guests a unique experience.

The culture of hospitality and love for one's land have given rise to the relais Villa Castelletto, the charming mansion Villa Prato, the renovation of the Castle of Monteu Roero, the recent restoration of the Castelletto dell'Annunziata, the Borgo Roccanivo, the newly acquired Convent of S.Giovanni and a pastry shop that produces the typical amaretto of Mombaruzzo.

Added to this is the commitment in the social field, with the SoloPerGian Foundation, which carries out projects dedicated to young people and the unemployed, with proceeds from the sale of a special grappa, and the reforestation project launched in May 2020, with the planting of 2,900 trees in eight countries.

Over time, the Berta family has expanded the acreage of the property by acquiring larger and larger portions of the land surrounding the distillery's headquarters, eventually reaching an extension of 8 hectares of land that the family wanted to transform into a nature park in honor of the deep bond that has bound them to this place for generations.

Nestled among the soft hills of Piedmont's Monferrato region, in the easternmost part of the province of Asti, the distillery now proves to be an exceptional travel destination dedicated not only to connoisseurs of fine Italian grappa but also to those who wish to indulge in pleasant days of relaxation in a fascinating natural setting.

A place where the interaction between man, the land and its products has generated a long tradition that makes this Piedmontese reality a true excellence in the art of distillation and hospitality.

Distillerie Berta has 40 employees, most of them under 40. Representing the importance of the younger generation are Annacarla and Giulia Berta, daughters of Gianfranco and Simonetta, respectively, and Chicco, who are in charge of administration, marketing and communications.

In 2022, the company had a turnover of more than 14 million euros and produced more than 500,000 bottles, exporting 50 percent of them to 75 countries. The target foreign markets are mainly Germany, Switzerland, Japan and Canada. A steady trend of development has positively marked the company's activities year after year.
