THE STORY
Founded in 1960, in Bertiolo, Italy, CABERT has been synonymous with authenticity and the tradition of wine for over sixty years.

THE TERRITORY
The wines of the north-east of Italy are frontier wines, with a special identity having its roots in the commercial spirit of Venetian merchants, and in the challenges that winemakers have always had to face in this area, quickly learning to innovate, adapt and improve.

THEIR PHILOSOPHY: LOVE, LAND, TRADITION & INNOVATION
CABERT wines are born from the love we have for our land, and from a long wine-making tradition integrated with cutting-edge technological innovations. The result is extreme attention to detail throughout all stages of production, and a deep respect for the terroir, our vines, and all their peculiar qualities. The fruit of passion, commitment and love, we dedicate our wines to all those who already appreciate them, and to all those who will soon discover them.

Factsheet

CABERT
From tradition in the vineyard to innovation in the winery

THE WINERY: surrounded by large expanses of vineyards, the Cabert headquarters is located in Bertiolo, in the Italian region of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Founded in 1960, Cantina di Bertiolo processes the grapes of 60 winegrowers who are, at the same time, the shareholders of CABERT. Our winegrowers have centuries of passion behind them, as well as a sincere attention for their vines, and a cultural heritage handed down from generation to generation.

Over the years, Cabert have established a production chain, from the cultivation of grapes through to bottling, where the use of technology has allowed them to integrate traditional methods of wine-making with the very best cutting-edge techniques.

The equipment used for harvesting and subsequent processing allow us to preserve all the quality and intrinsic qualities of the grapes. This breathes life into wines with a balanced character, a vivid aromatic profile, and a strong sense of terroir, wines offering the pleasure of good drinking, and created to be appreciated on any occasion.

The Casali Roncali line was created the aim of enhancing the excellence of the Friuli Colli Orientali area. From a careful selection by our winemakers, mineral, balanced and well-structured wines are shaped into a completely renewed packaging that reflects all the quality that you will find in every single glass.

Zenato received nice reviews by Robert Parker

Zenato received nice reviews by Robert Parker.

Amarone della Valpolicella Archivio Storico 2013

The project “Archivio Storico Zenato” was created to celebrate a history of caring, dedication and passion, which led to recognize worldwide the name of Zenato as a synonym of excellence and identity of a unique area: Valpolicella.

The first vintage, 2008, has rested for a decade in large oak barrels. The milestone of this project that underlines the link to a territory in which we have believed and invested since the beginning.

A story of care, dedication and passion, the decision to revive every 10 years a barrel so special that it deserves the wait.

Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Riserva Sergio Zenato 2019

Produced only in top vintages, this graceful wine is made from a selection of Corvina and Rondinella grapes grown in the oldest vineyards in the township of Sant’Ambrogio in Valpolicella’s “classic” zone.

Following vinification, it undergoes long-term aging for at least 4 years in Slavonian oak casks.

It represents the very identity of the winery and its legacy throughout the world – a wine that can age and be enjoyed for more than 20 years.

With luminous and dense color, elegant complexity, and a wonderful touch of spice, it’s a wholehearted expression of the land where it is made.

When the dried grapes for the Amarone have completed their fermentation, a top selection of Valpolicella grapes “passes over” (ripassa) the Amarone pomace, thus resulting in a second brief fermentation.
This helps to obtain a higher alcohol content, deeper color, and rich flavor and aroma.
After aging in French tonneaux for 18-20 months, the wine is cellared for another 6 months in bottle before release.
The process makes for a refined and concentrated wine, extremely smooth and velvety, with vibrant red fruit aromas.
On the palate fruity notes and elegant tannin with hints of chocolate and spice. 

Lugana Riserva Sergio Zenato 2022

This Lugana Riserva is the fruit of the Zenato family’s genuine passion and a reflection of their history in the appellation.

The grapes for this wine come from the oldest vines on their Podere Massoni farm. They are harvested slightly late, around mid-October.
Fermentation takes place in oak cask (70%) and stainless steel (30%).

Light brilliant gold in color, this wine delivers intense multi-faceted aromas on the nose, with floral and citrus notes, spices, white plum, and vanilla.
On the palate, it’s rich in flavor, with great depth and balance. An ideal white for aging.

“Made entirely with pre-harvsted Sangiovese destined to make Brunello, the fantastic 2024 Rosato from Patrizia Cencioni has an intense color recalling pink rose petal and intense floral aromas of lavender and rose that mix with small red berry and spice. Dry, savory and linear, the full-flavored palate delivers succulent red cherry, pomegranate and orange zest before a saline close. Bright acidity keeps it vibrant and balanced. Drink through 2027. Abv: 12.5%”
