Casa Geretto, a company that continues in its family tradition its story in the world of wine. It was the early 50s when the Gentleman Antonio Geretto, together with his children, started the activity of trade in wines, more for passion than for precise objectives. The growing consensus towards the products placed on the market and the considerable increase in their diffusion, intensified production and marketing of the wine product, made known in its integrity and character of the original vine. It has been founded, in this way, the Geretto Antonio Winery. The care and attention in the choice of grapes and wines found more and more space in Friuli, as well as in the Veneto region. Awards and prizes at the tasting counters in the area did not come late.
In 1976 the Merk Farm was purchased, in the DOC Friuli Aquileia, in order to meet the needs of an increasingly more Friulian market attentive to the quality of the product.
Since 1999, Dino Geretto renewed the tradition of a winery increasingly oriented to the expansion of its market and the quality requirements of the final consumer. With the generational change, also the philosophy and the image of the company was renewed, focusing strongly on a careful selection of products and wines that would reflect in the best way the identity of their territory of origin. All this is the result of continuous experiments and of the direct control of each stage of production and of all grapes treated, for a complete traceability of the product, under the supervision of Antonio Geretto, the company’s oenologist.
The company’s export share amounts to approximately 35% of sales; you can find the Merk Casa Geretto wines in the USA, Canada, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom. The domestic market is spread throughout the Northeast with a sales network covering the national territory to Rome.
Thanks to the intense work of this decade awards and prizes in the most important tasting counters in national and international competitions were conferred, as well as mentions in the most prestigious journals and guides. For Casa Geretto, moreover, it has always been important to communicate wines by sponsoring and participating in initiatives of pairing between wine and various forms of art such as music, painting, theater.
