Description

Bertinga is the flagship wine of the company whose name it bears. It is the "grand vin" of the estate, less than 15,000 bottles that best embody the peculiarities of the territory of Gaiole in Chianti through a balanced and elegant blend of the two grape varieties that have made it famous throughout the world. A blend of Sangiovese and Merlot in equal parts that reflects the vineyard of the same name from which it comes.
