Two fundamental years for the company are 1922, which sees the Bertani brothers in France with Professor Guyot to learn advanced viticulture techniques, and 1923 which sees the patent of the Real Casa, with the Soave being poured at the settlement dinner. of King George VI, the stammering king of England from the film “The King's Speech”.

A success story that continues with the presentation of the first Amarone , vintage 1958, which over the years knows how to maintain its deeply traditional identity, despite the phenomenon of “parkerization” in 1995 that wants more robust and concentrated red wines.
