It all started in 1820, when the first Casellas planted some vines in the Italian countryside. Two things sprouted shortly thereafter: a cluster of grapes, and a family passion that would last 188 years and counting.

Fast forward to 1957. Filippo and Maria Casella were keeping the business alive in Italy, when they decided to pack up and move to Australia. However far away, they couldn’t escape their wine roots. Filippo began selling grapes to local wineries. Then in 1969, he decided it was time for a new generation of Casellas to put their winemaking skills to use.

From humble beginnings, this family has come a long way. Today the company is run by Filippo’s three sons—John, Joe and Marcello—while Filippo’s grandchildren have become the sixth generation to join the family business. In 2000, John Casella joined forces with another family-run company, W.J. Deutsch & Sons, to bring the goodness of Yellow Tail to the United States.

Soft and smooth, with notes of dark plum, juicy berries and subtle spice.

BEST BUY - This is a dark fruited, dense Merlot, with notes of cola, cabbage leaf, fig and raisiny dark fruit. The palate has richness but it s balanced by lifted acidity, keeping it firmly in a medium-bodied bracket.

Bright and lively, this is juicy with plum and berry flavors, shaded with hints of mint and cedar. —Harvey Steiman,
