FROM “LANGHE” VINYARDS
TO THE HISTORIC HEART OF CHERASCO
Senator Domenico Fracassi began the commercial
production of wine from vineyards owned
by the family of his mother, Maddalena Ratti Mentone at the turn
of the last century. Until then,
wines from the family vineyards were produced solely for th e
private consumption of the family.
At the present time the family’s wine growing estates in
the Langhe hills
are owned and managed by the former Senator’s nephew Umberto
Fracassi,
who continues to use the label and family name of his great-grandmother.
Traditionally, grapes grown in the family’s Langhe estates
have been turned
into wine in the cellars of the family compound within the historic
center of the
City of Cherasco. More recently these cellars have been equipped
with modern
wine producing apparatus enabling the creation of wines of superior
quality.
Below is a sampling of the excellent wines produced under the
Umberto Fracassi Ratti
Mentone label.
