Antico Pastificio Rosetano was founded in 1898 by Luigi Verrigni who supplied the noble families of Rosburgo, the current-day Roseto degli Abruzzi (Teramo), with his high quality hand-made pastas. The superior quality of Verrigni pasta was obtained by stone-grinding the grain, using water from the Gran Sasso Mountain range for the dough and air-drying the finished pasta on bamboo canes.
With the same passion as the founders, in 2008 Gaetano Verrigni and Francesca Petrei Castelli took over management of the company, continuing this adventure in renewal and respect for traditions while innovating both in terms of pasta shapes and productions methods.
The Antico Pastificio Rosetano known as Verrigni is the only pasta producer in the entire world to draw their pasta with gold, a soft metal that is even more delicate than bronze on the grain. 125 years of story, tradition, innovation and know-how in a plate of pasta.
125 Years of Pasta Excellence!
100% PREMIUM ITALIAN WHEAT
Superior quality comes from the best durum wheat, exclusively Italian, that is primarily cultivated and harvested in Abruzzo both at Francesca’s own farm and at other local farms such as the Francesco Paolo Valentini farm.
THE PASTA CHOSEN BY TOP CHEFS
The first person to describe the beneficial characteristics of Verrigni Gold Drawn pasta was top Chef Massimiliano Alajmo. After that, many other top names from Moreno Cedroni to Enrico Bartolini also came to appreciate this innovation.
GOLD DRAWN PASTA, THE NEXT LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE!
When Gaetano Verrigni mentioned the idea of cutting pasta with gold instead of bronze, the idea wasn’t very successful in the company. It was feared that it might seem like a joke or an exaggeration. Actually, it would be an inspired idea if the first to describe the characteristics of this new idea was a master like Massimiliano Alajmo. The dough crosses the gold gently and friction is minimized in comparison to bronze. That is why the porosity of the surface of gold-cut shapes is different. It is greater but also has more fragrance and crispness.
Precious gold for precious pasta.
