The Gussalli Beretta family has been active in the wine industry for over 500 years, and for 500 years they have been uncompromising about their values, uncompromising about the quality of their wine, and uncompromising about their rigor and work ethic. Dedication and consistency is what makes this family and their wine truly distinctive.
The family’s four wine Estates anchor four great DOCGs of Italy: Lo Sparviere in Franciacorta, Castello di Radda in Chianti Classico, Orlandi Contucci Ponno in the Colline Teramane, and Forte Masso in the Langhe of Barolo.
