One of the oldest wineries in Monferrato, Casalone started officially operations in 1734 and the first bottles of wine were sold in the market in 1776. Land and vineyards extension are pretty mych the same from then and the family still control 100% of their production, making them as one of the top wine experts in dealing with typical grape varieties from Piemonte such as Cortese, Barbera, Freisa, Grignolino and international varieties such as Pinot Noir. They also grow the Monemvasia an old clone of the greek malvasia imported by the Venetians in 1700 in Italy. From that grape they make one of the most interesting Passito (dessert wine from withered grapes).
