CASALONE
Lu Monferrato-Piemonte-Italy


"Vinification is an art that requires love." This was Petrus Hieronymus Casalone's motto He arrived at Lu Monferrato in 1734, to work as a viticulturist in Marquises Millo's estate. For about three hundred years this same passion has been handed down, unchanged from one generation to another and it has become the inspiring principle of the Casalone family. They have been able to remain passionately dedicated and faithful to centuries-old traditions, without forgoing the benefits supplied by modern technology. "The superb quality of grapes is not the result of Man's forcing, but a natural answer of the soil." This was another profound observation Petrus had passed onto the next generation, to make wine as natural as possible, and display the uniqueness and beauty of the terooir. This great passion and love of viticulture, continues to thrive in the Casaloone winery today. The centuries of Casalone artisan vintners is rich in culture and steeped in history, creating unusual and highest quality of artisan crafted wines. Casalone winery stands on the Bricco Santa Maria in Lu Monferrato and is surrounded by a continuous wave of hills.
