Change is movement. It is a path of new possibilities. New ways. New experiences. Changing is a challenge, but it makes us better. It connects us to the unknown. It is inevitable and because of that, it is so feared. The transformation has been part of Casa Perini’s history for over 130 years. When the immigrants, Antonio and Giuseppe Perini, arrived from Italy they brought the art of transforming grapes into wine. It was João Perini, in 1929, who started a new cycle in the wine production. His dedication and care brought improvement in the work processes, from the cultivation of the to the final product. In 1970, Mr. Benildo has transformed the small family business into a winery. With a new structure, a new path was trod. For 4 generations, Casa Perini produces high quality wines, bringing to glasses the passion for grapes. The Casa Perini wines are very well-awarded and, in 2017, the Casa Perini Sparkling Muscat was elected the 5th Best Wine of the World by WAWWJ (Word’s Association of Wine Writers and Journalists).
