About us
How our reality was born
Three generations have been cultivating an important vine, such as Trebbiano di Lugana, from which the wine called Bianco Lugana DOC originates, for over 50 years, taking care of this land with respect and dedication, in a natural and sustainable manner.
It all began in 1949, when Domenico Dal Cero, together with his wife Albina, started their agricultural activity: various crops productions, livestock and in a small plot of land in this area, intended for use as vineyards, they began growing vines.
Domenico also started a small wine production for his family and some friends.
In 2002 the business continued with his daughter Pasquina and her husband Flavio , who carried on the production of grapes, expanding the vineyard to its current size.

In 2014 the third generation saw his grandaughter Debora with her husband Paolo, enter the company with a new and far-sighted philosophy.
After the modernization of the vineyards, they felt that the farm couldn’t be enlarged and improved without giving a new life to its breathing heart: “Granpa Dome’s Cantinetta”, born as a special place where Granpa Dome devoted himself to his dream: producing wine for his family and his friends.
Stepped in that tradition, in 2020,
Cantinetta Paradiso opened its doors.
In the small cellar built by the grandfather, Debora and Paolo began to vinify a part of their grapes, so that Granpa Dome’s dream came true.
That’s why they dedicated to him the first white wine label “Il Dome”.
Then the production went on with the Lugana Doc “Terra Pura”, obtained from the “ancient ” part of the vineyards.
A red wine “5 Sensi”, the sparkling wines “Zenzero Blanc” and “Pepe Rosa”, the latest rosè wine “Petite Claire”, complete the winery’s production.
The grapes for the red wines are grown directly or indirectly in the sorrounding areas.
In 2022 another important, expanding step for Cantinetta Paradiso took place: a new space dedicated to winemaking was built, leaving room in the old winery, for a new idea: special evening events.
