ANTICO PASTIFICIO ROSETANO S.R.L.

What ANTICO PASTIFICIO ROSETANO S.R.L. does

Verrigni (Antico Pastificio Rosetano S.r.l.) is a family-owned Italian artisan pasta producer founded in 1898 in Roseto degli Abruzzi (Teramo), Italy, operating under the continuous stewardship of the Verrigni family. The company manufactures premium dried pasta using 100% Italian durum wheat semolina, Gran Sasso mountain aquifer water, traditional bronze die extrusion, and a unique gold die extrusion process (trafilatura in oro) introduced in 2007, slow-dried at low temperatures (maximum 45°C) for up to 72 hours. Its portfolio includes the gold-die line (11 formats including Spaghettoro, Fusilloro, and Il Peperone d'Oro), a bronze-die line, certified organic and Demeter biodynamic pasta, a gluten-free range (Sine Gluten), flavored variants, and proprietary formats such as the Quadro square line (Pennotta, Bu-Quadro) and Spaghetto al Volo quick-cook spaghetti.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct B2B sales to high-end restaurants, starred chefs, and luxury hotels (its primary segment) with direct-to-consumer sales through the verrignishop.it e-commerce storefront and a physical company outlet (spaccio aziendale) at headquarters. Verrigni maintains a wholly-owned agricultural subsidiary, Azienda Agricola Solagnone, supplying durum wheat exclusively for the gold-die line, and a strategic sourcing partnership with Azienda Agricola Valentini for the Verrigni-Valentini sub-brand. The company holds IFS Higher Grade, Demeter biodynamic, and organic certifications, and distributes across Italy, Germany, the UK, Scandinavia, and select international gourmet retailers, with named accounts including Massimiliano Alajmo, Hotel Réserve Eden au Lac Zürich, Villa Serbelloni, and PROOF FOOD Hong Kong.

Revenue mechanics are based on one-time sales of finished pasta products through B2B commercial supply, B2C e-commerce, and the on-site outlet; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is managed through direct commercial contact for professional buyers. The company currently operates with 6 employees, no external institutional investors, and no parent company, with leadership held jointly by Gaetano Verrigni and Francesca Petrei Castelli since 2008.
