Elio Perrone

Described as an enological tailor’s shop, the Elio Perrone estate is dedicated to sensible and painstaking detail when it comes to their wines. The winemaker and owner Stefano Perrone is descended from a long line of grape growers in Castiglione Tinella, the heart of Asti. He was an avid motocross racer, and eventually turned professional until an accident forced the end of that career. In his late-20s, he returned to the family vineyards and took up work with his father. 

Stefano Perrone, having inherited the estate from his father, Elio, believes that the wines are a direct expression of the care and detail that is put into each vine and bottle. Each vineyard is nurtured in accordance with the driving idea that “managing a vineyard is about sensibility, not supremacy.” Working with his young son, Elio, Stefano has established the Perrone estate as one of the most interesting in the region.
