An elegant, lightly sparkling Italian white wine with beautiful freshness
The estate
In the 1960s, Bruno and Marcello Ceretto took over the family estate founded in 1930 by their father, Riccardo, in Alba, Piedmont. Following a stay in Burgundy, the two brothers set out to accelerate the estate’s development and create “crus” within this exceptional Italian terroir.
Breaking with tradition in a region where the notion of cru was then absent, Bruno and Marcello Ceretto undertook a meticulous selection of the finest vineyards for great Italian reds in Barolo and Barbaresco, with the aim of producing top-flight Langhe wines.
Loyalty to tradition, respect for the terroir and openness to innovation are the pillars of this family estate’s philosophy. Between 1969 and 1982, four cellars were established and production expanded to Moscato as well as a white wine. Since the 1990s, the new generation—the children of Bruno and Marcello—has joined the adventure, carrying forward the legacy of this 160-hectare estate, spread across 4 cellars and producing 17 distinct wines.
The wine
The I Vignaioli di S. Stefano cuvée is a delicately sparkling Moscato d'Asti with a singular story. In 1976, the Ceretto and Scavino families, major figures in Piedmontese viticulture, combined their expertise to found the I Vignaioli di Santo Stefano winery. Their shared goal was to restore white moscato to its former prestige, a grape variety with great qualitative potential but long disparaged due to overly intensive farming practices.
I Vignaioli di Santo Stefano farms 30 hectares of vineyards located in the communes of Santo Stefano Belbo, Canelli, and Calosso. Vinification and aging are carried out at Domaine San Maurizio, in the municipality of Santo Stefano Belbo.
To reflect the contemporary and innovative spirit of this cuvée, the bottle design was entrusted to Italian designer Giacomo Bersanetti.
Winemaking and aging
Fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats. Minimal intervention during the vinification of this Piedmont wine to preserve the grape’s aromatic integrity.
Grape variety
Ceretto’s I Vignaioli di S. Stefano 2023 is 100% white moscato.
