There is an Italy that lives in simple gestures.
In golden fields scented with wheat, in vineyards ripening under the sun, in kitchens where Sundays taste like time standing still.
It is the Italy of families, of handwritten letters, of long-awaited returns, and of dreams built with patience.
From this memory was born Don Vincenzo, the signature line of Italian excellence by Best Italian Selection — a collection of premium products: wines, extra virgin olive oil, artisanal pasta, and regional specialties.
A tribute to the roots of an Italian family.

In this article, you’ll discover:

• firstly, how the Don Vincenzo line was born, inspired by the memory of a father;
• then, the deep meaning of the “paper father” and the human value behind this tribute;
• finally, Don Vincenzo products tell the story of Italy through emotion, memory, and taste.

A Paper Father, an Inheritance of Values

“I was a paper father, boarding a train and sent like a letter…”

Thus begins the story that accompanies the Don Vincenzo line — words that speak of emigration, distance, and love that never fades.

Behind this brand lies an intimate, heartfelt tribute to the memory of Alfredo and Giovanni Romaniello’s father.A man of rare determination and indomitable spirit, he taught his sons the priceless lesson of never giving up. His long years of emigration to Germany never diminished the profound mark he left on their lives.

The idea of honoring his memory through this brand was born from Alfredo’s deep desire to communicate with his father through a letter — one that tells of another time, of sacrifice and devotion.
The “paper father” becomes a symbol of those who left their homeland to build a future, who wrote their presence in ink and nostalgia.

From that absence grew a new kind of presence — an inheritance of values, of deep roots, of passion for authenticity.
Don Vincenzo is exactly that: a letter sent from the past, sealed in the body of a wine or the fragrance of an olive oil.

A Journey Through Emotion and Taste

Don Vincenzo is not just a name — it is a love story.
Each product is a page of that story, written with authentic ingredients.

Extra virgin olive oil preserves the sunlight of the fields and the wisdom of hands that know the land and its labor.
Bronze-drawn durum wheat pasta speaks of family, of abundant tables, and of Sundays that smell like home.
Wine, sparkling wine, and grappa embody the strength of the sun, the generosity of the vineyards, and craftsmanship that becomes emotion.
And then there are the sweets — each selected with the same care one reserves for a cherished memory.

Behind each product lies a conscious choice: premium ingredients, artisanal methods, respect for tradition, and a passion for excellence.

The Love for Quality

Born as a dialogue between a son and a father, Don Vincenzo has become something greater — a bridge between past and present, between memory and taste, between those who produce and those who choose to bring authenticity to their table.

Pouring a glass of Don Vincenzo Taurasi DOCG Collection, dressing a dish with Don Vincenzo Extra Virgin Olive Oil DOP, or cooking a plate of Don Vincenzo Rigatoni means reconnecting with one’s roots — a sensory experience woven from familiar aromas and flavours.

Behind every bottle and every package lies the desire to show that quality is not a commercial choice, but a form of love.

Don Vincenzo: A Living Tribute

“What do I owe my father? Everything.”

These words capture the soul of Don Vincenzo — simple, sincere, and profoundly moving.

Don Vincenzo was born as a thank-you to those who taught us to believe in our dreams, to persevere, and to build the future with our hands and our hearts.
Each taste is a fragment of that story — one of dedication and quiet strength.

It is a way to feel that the past is never lost, but transformed into something that continues to live: in a glass of wine, in a drop of oil, in a plate of pasta shared with those we love.
