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.
