The history of this agricultural production is intertwined with the history of 2 families. The Castellina property, in the Montupoli district in the Miglianico area, was purchased by Rocco Di Tomo, originally from Miglianico, but emigrated to Venezuela in search of fortune. At the cost of sacrifices and years of work away from his family, in 1957 he managed to purchase a vast land property in the Montupoli area, to leave to his children. For a very long time these lands were used exclusively for the subsistence of the large family. Subsequently, the younger daughters Maria and Anna, after inheriting the current property on their father's death in 1972, married the brothers Mario and Franco Aurora, who had also been involved in the agricultural machinery sector for many years. From the love for the land and its product, and supported by the numerous approvals received from anyone who tasted the Rosso Castellina wine and the extra virgin olive oil, the idea arose of giving the Rosso Castellina farm a more entrepreneurial, whose mission is to have as a result quality products of authenticity, naturalness in respect of tradition, also thanks to the characteristics of the territory and the climate particularly favorable to viticulture. But the production of wines cannot be improvised, so our company has relied on the professionalism and experience of the owner of Chiusa Grande , Mr. Franco D'Eusanio, a graduate in Agricultural Sciences and an esteemed consultant for wineries.
