Podere la Berta Description
La Berta was an early pioneer of high quality winemaking in Romagna. Purchased in 2009 by the Poggiali family, owners of Felsina – at which point they increased the focus on quality winemaking – implementing all of the same farming practices as those used at Felsina. The winery focuses on the Sangiovese plus the whites typical of the region: Pagadebit, Trebbiano and Albana.
The vineyards at La Berta are farmed with the same care and attention as those at Fattoria di Felsina. They are farmed with minimal impact. They practice biodynamic farming methods but do not plan to be certified. The soil here is a mix of clay and sand rich in marine deposit. They vineyards sit in a choice position in the foothills of the Appenine Mountains with influence from the Adriatic as well. The entry-level Sangiovese di Romagna offers great value whereas the cru Solano shows more of the potential of the area. It is natural to compare these wines to those of Tuscany but they should really be viewed in their own light – the best wines can hold their own in any setting.
