HISTORY
The
Narcisi family has been producing wine for many generations. It all began
in our hometown of Giulianova, Italy. In the early 1900's Raphael Narcisi
and his family traveled to the United States bringing their talents and
knowledge of winemaking along. They settled in the local Pittsburgh area.
At that time there were nowineries in Pennsylvania and laws did not offer
opportunities to pursue winemaking as a career.The
Narcisi family was determined to continue the tradition of winemaking
and constructed a large wine cellar in their residence. Raphael with the
assistance of his wife Mary Dennis produced the family's wine at their
home. Raphael passed his knowledge and skills on to his sons with the
vision that they might continue the family tradition of winemaking throughout
subsequent generations. After Raphael's death the winemaking equipment
was moved to his son's farm where Thomas with his wife Mary and the help
of their three daughters built an even larger wine cellar. Raphael's grandson
Dennis Ralph and great grandsons Randall and Anthony Narcisi assisted
them. In 1989 Thomas passed the trade and his equipment on to the next
generation. From there, Dennis Ralph, with the assistance of his wife
Sara and sons Randall and Anthony continued this family tradition for
many years at their resident wine cellar.As
the opportunities for a winery business in western Pennsylvania became
a more attractive option, the La Casa Narcisi Winery facility was finally
built, and opened for business on November 1st, 2001. "It was a seed
planted, tended, and destined to sprout", said Dennis Narcisi. With
the opening of La Casa Narcisi Winery we bring you four generations and
over 75 combined years of winemaking experience with a genuine desire
and commitment to provide our customers with the best quality product,
made with the freshest grapes and the highest standards.We
are very pleased to have the opportunity to share our excitement and experience
with you and hope you enjoy the La Casa Narcisi wine.
