Here resided the noble Thaulero family, of military tradition and coming from Hamburg, who settled in Abruzzo in the 16th century with a mandate, received directly from Charles V, to supervise this area of ​​Abruzzo. An important protagonist of this process of economic and agricultural reform was Giovanni Thaulero who held the role of secretary of the Economic Society of Teramo, chaired by Gianfilippo Delfico. Thaulero had a philosophical and humanistic education; he was responsible for a "speech" published in the Annals of Italian Agriculture in 1819. He held various institutional roles in the Kingdom of Naples including that of advisor to the Intendency. The farmhouse located in the municipality of Montepagano was at that time at the center of the family agricultural estate with numerous sharecropping houses where new agricultural techniques were being tested; the rural population stabilized to consolidate the small village which was enriched in 1836 by the construction of a small church, financed by Giovanni Michele Thaulero, today located in the center of the settlement. In the same years, the famous painter Pasquale Celommi was born in Montepagano, the first of a family of artists representative of nineteenth-century Italian art, whose works focus on portraiture and the hilly landscapes and seasides of Abruzzo. One of his works, preserved in the Pinacoteca civica di Roseto, portrays an autumn landscape with a harvest scene that represents the landscape of the Teramo hills, with a girl and a boy flirting near the vineyards depicted in an idealized image of the bucolic landscape of Abruzzo. This history rich in tradition and passion pushed some winemakers, in 1961, to join together and set up a cooperative winery, to produce and export Abruzzo wines around the world. In fact, in 1968 Casal Thaulero was the first Abruzzo cooperative to bottle and export wines with Controlled Designation of Origin in NAFTA countries. The new Casal Thaulero winery was born in Ortona in 2005.
