Founded in 1945, Gotto D'oro was the first winegrowers’ association in Castelli Romani. This generous land that lies to the south of Rome preserves an ancient winemaking tradition that has been rooted there since the Roman Age, which was also the inspiration for the name Gotto: from the Latin guttus, a large sized glass, and by extension the wine it contained.
The Frattocchie premises are the centre of all operations of transformation, vinification and bottling of Frascati, Marino and Castelli Romani D.O.P. wines, from grapes supplied by more than 400 associated winegrowers. The fully automated production lines consist of modern, functional and technologically advanced systems with a potential of more than 200.000 hectolitres of wine, ensuring optimisation of the phases and guaranteeing respect for the organoleptic and qualitative characteristics of the wine produced.
Gotto d'oro today is a modern and efficient organisation which annually produces and markets 10 million bottles of wine, with a turnover of more than €19.600.000. Its positioning is therefore highly prestigious, among the 20 leading companies in the sector at national level.
Over more than half a century of activity the company’s skills and professionalism, constant attention to market transformations and the evolution of consumer tastes have resulted in wines that have achieved success with an increasingly vast and informed public.
Today Gotto d'oro brand products are known and appreciated worldwide to the point of being associated with the history and monuments of the eternal city.
