CANTINA DI BERTIOLIO FRIULI, ITALY
Cabert, or the Cantina di Bertiolo, established in 1960 in Bertiolo, the farming village located in the middle of the “Friuli Grave” plain. It is a cooperative winery in the Udine region, 40 miles northwest of Trieste and 20 miles west of Slovenia. The high regard for Cabert is due to its owners, who come from some of the oldest and most acclaimed families in the region. Made by people who draw from centuries of passion and keen attention for the grapevine—a cultural heritage handed down through the generations. The cantina produces a variety of grapes from contracted family farms in Friuli-Grave, a wine region within the classification of Friuli–Venezia Giulia spanning 18,500 acres across the provinces of Udine and Pordenone. Today it continues to serve its hundreds of member families by vinifying and marketing high-quality wine in large volumes. Cabert is the premium label, Villa San Martino is the value priced line.
