Wines and Spirits

The Wine & Spirits Department is constantly seeking rare and fine bottles from wineries around the world, with a particular focus on collectible Italian and French wines. Our auctions feature an extensive selection of rare wines, historic vintages, limited editions, and hard-to-find labels sourced from private collections. The Department's experts carefully research and assess each bottle, considering its storage conditions, fill level, label integrity, and overall preservation. The evaluation process is a crucial step in ensuring that only the highest-quality bottles are included in the auction catalogs for collectible wines organized by Bertolami Fine Art.

Among the most sought-after and prestigious Italian wineries are renowned names such as Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Solaia, Tignanello, Gaja, Giacomo Conterno, Le Pergole Torte, Gravner, Dal Forno, Brunello di Montalcino Soldera, Masseto, Bruno Giacosa, Bartolo Mascarello, Giuseppe Rinaldi, Quintarelli, and many more. When it comes to collectible French wines, iconic labels such as Pétrus, Romanée-Conti, Château Lafite-Rothschild, Coche-Dury, and Henri Jayer stand out, alongside lesser-known but equally desirable selections.

The Department's auctions go beyond fine wines, also featuring top-tier Italian sparkling wines such as Ferrari, Ca' del Bosco, Bellavista, and Berlucchi, alongside renowned collectible champagnes, including Dom Pérignon, Krug, Louis Roederer, Pol Roger, Piper-Heidsieck, and many more. The department's specialists also curate rare spirits to further enrich the auction offering.
Some of the most prestigious spirits featured in our auctions include The Macallan, Hennessy, Don Julio, Caroni, and Dalmore—true treasures for connoisseurs and collectors. Bottles offered in our dedicated sales cater to enthusiasts, collectors, sommeliers, and anyone interested in exploring the world of fine wines and spirits, including newcomers. The role of the auction house is therefore essential, ensuring secure and advantageous acquisitions of high-value wines, rare labels, and, in some cases, unique bottles that are nearly impossible to find elsewhere. Over the past decade, strategic purchases of collectible wines have demonstrated that this sector offers excellent investment opportunities.

The unique combination of financial potential and the pleasure of owning rare labels creates the perfect balance between passion and profit. The market of fine wines attracts not only seasoned collectors but also investors seeking alternative assets with strong appreciation potential. Fine wines and rare spirits have consistently demonstrated their value over time, with certain vintages and distilleries achieving record-breaking prices at auction.
