History

The Pasetti family's vine-growing roots near Francavilla go back to the Bourbon era; the company was founded in 1960.

Over the past two decades the family sold its vineyards near the sea and bought high-altitude inland sites in the shadow of the Maiella and Gran Sasso.

Now in its fifth generation under Domenico 'Mimmo' Pasetti, his wife Laura and their children; the Testarossa line was named for the red-haired Pasetti daughter Francesca Rachele.
