Here is a picture of Ettore Galasso, his daughter Stefania and one of his workers, taken while visiting one of the family vineyards.

Coming from Northern Italy, the Galasso family has been operating in Abbruzzo since the end of 1800. The, at the time,  large patriarchal family  that bought the land and settled in this area, has always been producing extra virgin olive oil, fruit and grape and trading  their own products.  In the mid sixties the patriarchal family underwent a complete change in structure and split dividing the business into various streams.  Ettore Galasso, the present owner,  took over most of the vineyards and in the seventies started bottling his own wine.
The winery is located very close to Loreto Aprutino an historical town harmoniously embedded in the landscape, between the Adriatic Coast and the Gran Sasso mountain, made mostly of vineyards and extensive olive trees fields.
