About Winery and Wines
The De Stefani family traces its roots to Refrontolo, a UNESCO World Heritage village in Veneto, Italy, with historical records dating back to 1624. Today, the winery is led by Alessandro De Stefani, the fourth generation, who produces wines under a natural philosophy from old, high-density vineyards. Focusing on native varieties like Marzemino and Prosecco, the winery produces around 400,000 bottles annually from 150 acres of vineyard, distributing its wines globally and gaining recognition in prestigious wine guides.
The family’s winemaking history began in 1866 with Valeriano De Stefani, who cultivated vines and produced wines in the Refrontolo hills, specializing in dried grape wines. Over the generations, the De Stefani family has continuously innovated, expanding into the Piave area in the 1960s and introducing modern viticulture and winemaking techniques such as temperature control during fermentation, the use of small barrels for aging, and high-density planting.
Milestones include the production of Tombola di Pin Millesime sparkling wine in 1985 and the introduction of Stèfen 1624, a Marzemino wine, in 2003, both emblematic of the estate’s commitment to tradition and innovation. The winery also emphasizes sustainability, avoiding herbicides and chemicals in the vineyard and vinifying without added preservatives or sulfites.
Typical wines of the Piave area are obtained from grapes MERLOT, RABOSO, CABERNET SAUVIGNON, REFOSCO, TOCAI, PINOT GRIGIO, CHARDONNAY, SAUVIGNON, and wines of the Colli di Conegliano Valdobbiadene area obtained from grapes PROSECCO, MARZEMINO, SPUMANTE TALENTO METODO CLASSICO.
De Stefani's philosophy follows organic and biodynamic principles. Pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, and insecticides are not used. The winery prepares its own natural and organic fertilizer that feeds the vines and fosters the growth of soil organisms while promoting the healthy development of the roots.
