Vignaioli Di Santo Stefano

Tired of the mass production of Asti, in 1976 a group of producers (Sergio Santi, the Scavino family and the Ceretto family) founded the company I Vignaioli di Santo Stefano, to bring the Moscato Bianco grape to high levels of quality. The first year sees 4,000 bottles produced and at least the triple required by the market, an exceptional response for a highly appreciated product.
The great demand for boosting important investments and bringing production to 40,000 bottles as early as 1979. To date, production is around 350,000 for Moscato d'Asti and 20,000 for Asti Spumante.
Despite its size, the company remains attentive to traditional processes and work in the vineyard. A total of 41 hectares divided into the vineyards of Santo Stefano Belbo, Canelli and Calosso and tenants of the San Maurizio estate of Count Carlo Vittorio Incisa Beccaria.
The winemakers of Santo Stefano use only grapes from their vineyards, followed step by step both in the vineyard and in the cellar. Pruning contained, reasoned fertilizations and thinning of the bunches. Sorting in harvest, decanting and filtering reduced to a minimum to enhance the aromatic heritage of grapes.
