David Freschi was brought up on the vineyard where the Casa Freschi Langhorne Creek wines are now grown.

David's natural creativity and love of nature, coupled with the thought of enhancing peoples lives, led him topursue a career in winemaking. After completing a degree in winemaking at Roseworthy in 1990, he experienced vintages in South Australia, California and New Zealand before being appointed Assistant Winemaker at Corbans Wines, Gisborne, New Zealand in 1992.

Here, his passion grew and after experiencing a vintage in Puglia, Italy in 1994 under the guidance of Kym Milne MW, David was appointed Winemaker/Manager back in New Zealand in 1995. With immediate success in creating some of New Zealand's finest wines, he assumed the role of Senior Winemaker for the company based in Marlborough in 1997.

It is here where David met his future, Kiwi born wife Tanya. Together, they decided to establish Casa Freschi in 1998 using the original Langhorne Creek vineyard as their foundation.

Since 1998 David has also been engaged in consultant winemaking work in Italy, Australia and New Zealand.
