The Il Barlettaio Collection
When Francesco Bertozzi decided to revitalize the family business he founded Il Barlettaio. That was in 1995; today, the estate boasts organic certification for over three hectares of vineyards and another three of olive trees. The objective at Il Barlettaio is to improve on a daily basis, always respecting the land and producing wines that are increasingly a reflection of their district and their philosophy: wines that are proudly Radda.
