Gaiole in Chianti, literally the heart of Tuscan viticulture, is the cradle of both the Chianti Classico appellation and of some of the most renowned Super Tuscans. A unique mosaic of 3 amongst the best known cru vineyards of the area - Bertinga, Adine and Vertine - all of them located on the north part of the territory. Bertinga is a name, a place, a vineyard, and a wine. It is an ancient name, with origins in the mists of time, referring to 6th-century AD Lombard settlements, and in all likelihood to an owner named Berto. That name became Le Bertinghe, and, more recently, Bertinga.

Bertinga gazes out over Tuscany from atop its winecellar at 540 metres. At its feet are three vineyards, two grape varieties, and one exceptional terroir: Gaiole in Chianti. The vineyards are Bertinga, Vertine, and Adine.
