- Tuscany, Italy -
Fabbrica Pienza
Centuries of know-how!
After careers in NGOs and culture, Philippe and Tonie Bertherat turned to culture and wine production.
Falling in love with the region, they built a vineyard on an exceptional terroir: that of Chianti.
Helped by an efficient team, the Bertherats now offer you a range of wines straight from a heritage dating back several centuries.
A little anecdote to share with friends
Italy is (according to the World Vine Organization) the world leader in wine production.
The history of the vine in Tuscany begins well before that of France. It is even said that Italy is the cradle of the vine (600 and 400 BC).
Very advanced compared to France, it was in 1716 that the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo III de Medecis, issued an edict delimiting the first appellations in Europe.
