This photo shows a serendipitous natural union: that of a cherry tree growing on a mulberry tree.  This unique and beautiful arrangement, most likely caused by a cherry pit carried by a bird, is thriving in the valley between the towns of Casorzo and Grana, where it was first noticed by Adriano Fracchia. For this reason, the tree was dedicated to his memory by the Consortium of Casorzo Doc, which he founded and presided

This curious double-tree symbolizes the fortunate conception of Vinum Etc: a new company created by the merging of the Fracchia (est. 1919) and Peracchio (est. 1920) families that draws on the strengths of four-generations of wine-making.
