Caffè Vergnano

Caffè Vergnano has a long and prestigious history. Founded in 1882, when Domenico Vergnano, ancestor of the present family, established his business - a small grocery in the medieval city of Chieri situated at the foot of the hills surrounding Turin. The shop soon started to specialize in the roasting and sale of coffee, defining the Vergnano family's true vocation. This vocation was nourished by courageous decision, such as the purchase in the 30's of a coffee plantation in Kenya. At the same time, in Italy business grew rapidly with the establishment of the first three warehouses in Turin, Alba and Chieri.
