The Fratelli Casetta Winery is located in the North East of Italy in the Piedmont region - a land with the finest wine making where excellent red and white wines are always produced. Their Vineyards (40 hectares) are located on the Langa and Roero, a paradise of hills and vines on slopes both steep and gentle, with strong soil and a dry climate, giving positive effects especially during ripening.
The Casetta family have lived there since 1725 and vine growing and wine making are age-old family traditions. Brothers Ernesto and Guiseppe Casetta decided to expand the business in 1950. With tenacity and perseverance, they managed in just a short time to develop the positioning of their range on the international markets. The results that can be seen today are the work of one man, Ernesto Casetta, whose life has been, and continues to be, the guiding spirit behind this company, of which he is the soul and driving force. Ernest Casetta is now assisted in the cellar by his nephews Bruno and Pierangelo.
