About the Brand
It all began in the late 1700’s when our ancestors hand built the cellar we use today, started making “village” wine. On the solid wood door of that cellar, they decided to carve a rooster and that rooster, Galarin in Piemontese dialect, became the name of winery, Cascina Galarin.
Towards the end of the 1980’s our father, Giuseppe Carosso, fundamentally changed the direction of the family business. Beppe made the commitment to be very hands-on in the vineyard. By amending grape clusters in difficult years and selecting only the best grapes for all his wines, he achieved a level of consistent quality and concentration not found in the wines of larger producers. In recent years, Beppe has been joined by his two sons, Marco and Giovanni. The family takes great pride in being respectful to nature and the environment. In 2016, their vineyard was certified organic, an arduous three year process in Italy and something in which we are extremely proud.
