De Stefani

The De Stefani family’s winemaking legacy dates back to 1624 in Refrontolo, a picturesque village in Veneto, within the Conegliano Valdobbiadene UNESCO World Heritage site. It was here, in 1866, that Valeriano De Stefani identified a unique terroir capable of producing exceptional wines. His son, also named Valeriano, carried on this vision with the unwavering support of his wife, Angelina, setting a tradition of uncompromising dedication to quality that continues to this day.
In 1958, third-generation winemaker Tiziano De Stefani, after graduating from Italy’s most prestigious oenology school in Conegliano, expanded the family’s vineyards into the Piave Valley near Venice. Benefiting from the Adriatic Sea, the Dolomites, and the surrounding hills, this area is defined by its distinctive caranto soil—a mix of Alpine white clay and minerals—which imparts great character to the wines. Today, the winery’s headquarters and cellars are based in Fossalta di Piave.
Now led by fourth-generation winemaker Alessandro De Stefani and his wife Chiara, the estate continues to pursue excellence with a deeply natural philosophy. The vineyards, planted with old vines at high density, focus on native varieties such as Marzemino and Raboso. Organic and biodynamic principles guide every aspect of viticulture, fostering biodiversity and eliminating chemical fertilisers. Fermentation relies on indigenous yeasts, with vinification carried out without sulphites or preservatives—only a minimal amount of sulphur is added before bottling.
Sustainability is at the heart of the winery, which operates entirely on solar power and is now carbon neutral.
