Ceretto I Vignaioli di S. Stefano Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2020
When Tradition Marries Innovation
In the heart of Piedmont, Italy, nestled within Santo Stefano Belbo's serene landscapes, lies a revival and dedication story. 1976 marked the inception of a movement led by visionary winemakers and the Ceretto brothers, seeking to infuse quality into the overly commercialized Moscato wine. Their fellowship birthed I Vignaioli di Santo Stefano, a testament to the power of shared dreams and the relentless pursuit of excellence. This narrative isn't just about wine; it's a legacy intertwined with the ethos of the land and the spirit of Cesare Pavese, echoing through the Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2020.

The Ceretto family and the Scavino family have meticulously cultivated approximately 37 hectares across Santo Stefano Belbo, Calosso, and Canelli. This terroir, blessed with the perfect climate and soil, allows the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains to thrive, offering a wine that is a pure expression of its origin.

The Legacy Continues

The recent initiative to lighten bottle packaging reduces environmental impact and honors their commitment to progress and quality. This vintage's narrative is enriched by the inspired design of its packaging, drawing from Cesare Pavese's literary genius, symbolizing the moon and bonfires in its label and bottle shape.
