Farming is embedded in the Bertagna family and dates back four generations. Located in Chico, California the Bertagnas specialize in making premium traditional and non-traditional Italian Wines.

In 2001, Berton and Carol started their vineyard in their front yard with their two young sons. They began making wine for family and friends who encouraged them to make it available to our community. In 2007 they opened their first winery. They continue to grow their winemaking business and have recently opened a new tasting room. Visit Almendra Winery & Distillery where you can enjoy our wine with family and friends.
