Casale Caira wines

The grapevine farming in the Comino Valley has very ancient origins and it has improved during the centuries. In 1860, thanks to the great agricultural agent of Atina, Pasquale Visocchi, several French varieties of grapevine were combined with the local ones that represent the basis of the enology of the entire valley.

The meticulous care for our vineyards shows the attentiveness, the passion and the love that we dedicate to this prolific and graceful land.
