In 1911, Antonio Sperone opened a small wine cellar in Torino where he crafted Vermouth and other fortified wines. Unsatisfied with the quality and price of the local wine, Antonio started his own winery in Puglia where land was inexpensive and produced good wine. He built a bottling facility in Torino and was soon able to offer his customers quality wines at prices everyone could afford.\u00a0 The business thrived and eventually Antonio\u2019s grandson Giacomo opened a new facility in 1960 near Milan where he produced vermouth, sparkling wines, spirits and fine wines. With the help of his sons Paolo and Antonio, the company grew quickly and achieved distribution throughout Italy and expanded into foreign markets. In 1983, the family purchased 75 acres of prime vineyards in Piedmont and built a new winery in the small town of Mombaruzzo just outside Monferrato. \u00a0In 2006, brother and sister Andrea and Francesca became the 4th Sperone generation to join the company. \u00a0Even as prices fetched for wines from this increasingly fashionable region continue to climb, the Sperone family proudly focuses on value. \u00a0Franco Serra provides everyone with the opportunity to drink thoughtfully crafted, distinctive wines from Italy\u2019s most renowned region. |
