1909<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Salvatore Gasperini bought the land from the Chigi nobles and started the business with the knowledge that he had the right potential to produce excellent wines.<\/p>\n<\/div>

1945<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Second generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After World War II, the reins of Cantina Villafranca were passed to his sons Luigi and Renato, who had the task of keeping production alive during a difficult time. A task that was interpreted with courage: in fact, the first move was to expand the business; over time new land was purchased and new cellars were built.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

1972<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Third generation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A new leap in quality occurred in 1972, when Luigi and Renato were succeeded by Felice, Luigi’s son, and Salvatore, Renato’s son, authors of a real business transformation, with further acquisition of land on which native and international vines were planted. A bottling department was also set up in the Albano Laziale winery, one of the first in the Castelli Romani area.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The state of the art<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New distribution channels have enabled growth over the years both in Italy and in the rest of the world. Today the company, which owns about 60 hectares divided into 3 agricultural estates, separately vinifies the grapes produced with modern technologies but respecting tradition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Quality in tradition. It is a motto that stems from the fact that with more than 110 years of history behind us, tradition is always present; quality, for its part, is equally so because we are committed to following the entire production process with the utmost rigor, from the vineyard to processing to marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last but not least, the soils of volcanic origin return those characteristics of minerality and sapidity that find increasing attention from the public.<\/p>\nFelice e Salvatore Gasperini<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
