Cantina Pasetti's history goes back 5 generations, it began in the Bourbon era and it is still going on today. The turning point for the company came in the 60's, with the beginning of winemaking on its own: the result was extremely positive and the company managed to make a name for itself by increasing its turnover and customers.

In the 1980's it will be Mimmo Pasetti, by now a student of enology, to give the winery the push to dare and bottle its Montepulciano: he will do it to celebrate the birth of his daughter Francesca, a little girl with red hair just like her father Franco's mother, Donna Rachele.

This is how Testarossa was born, the symbol of the winery and of the family, which for 5 generations has been carrying on the work of viticulture with the same passion and determination.

Mimmo Pasetti today runs the company and is a visionary entrepreneur: his project came to life at the beginning of the new millennium, when he started to buy the first lands in Pescosansonesco, in the heart of the National Park of Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga.

Pescosansonesco's soil, clayey-calcareous and rich in skeleton, is perfect for the cultivation of Montepulciano d'Abruzzo; moreover, the important temperature range between day and night in this place at 550 meters above sea level allow the wine to have a sensorial profile endowed with extraordinary elegance and quality.

Then began the process of reconversion from the coastal area to the piedmont area, which will continue with the acquisition of other lands in Capestrano, Castiglione a Casauria and Ofena: the choice to produce in these places makes Pasetti Company the only one in Italy that can still boast the logo of the National Park on its bottles.

Today, Mimmo runs the company together with his three sons who have shared the work:
Francesca Rachele is in charge of administration, Massimo is in charge of export and international visibility and Davide is an enologist and is in charge of wine production.
