The Consorzio per la tutela dell’Asti was founded on 17th December 1932. Its story is one of dedication, of families willing to make any sacrifice in the name of the land and of the grapes, of experienced vineyard tenders, of men and women constantly pursuing perfection.
It was initially conceived to vintage the protected wine under the “Asti” designation only and to define the region of origin, the variety of Moscato bianco grapevine, the production processes and product quality. Apart from a few significant additions in the years immediately after the Second World War, the current production territory is practically the same as the one defined in 1931.
San Secondo, the patron saint of Asti, astride a horse, was chosen as the trademark of the Consortium, to guarantee excellence worldwide.
