It
was back in the post war period when the Santero brothers Leopoldo,
Renzo, Aldo and Adelio, following their father's footsteps,
consolidated their entrepreneurial spirit.
In 1958 they purchased and started a winery placed in Santo
Stefano Belbo. Their dream came true: they equipped the winery
for the production of sparkling wines and classic Piedmontese
wines.
The adventure continues: the structures are improved, new clients
are acquired, new markets open up and business is carried out
abroad with great attention to market needs.
In 1977 an up-to-date plant, the actual premises of the Company,
was opened on an area of more than 18.000 square metres situated
next to the birthplace of the writer Cesare Pavese.

The
factory does not process only the grapes grown at the 5 Santero's
wine farms, for a total of 60 Ha, but also the grapes bought
from over three hundred local winegrowers.
The winery Santero's majestic and extremely modern vinification
plant occupies 18,000 metres with a stock holding capacity of
120,000 hls of which 70,000 are temperature controlled.
The laboratory is particularly well equipped and can ensure
consistent and vigorous quality control procedures which all
product undergo.
The most up-to-date tecnological systems are used to analyze
musts as well as wines.
The production capacity of the winery is in excess of 20 million
bottles per annum which is above all due to the strong presence
of the main export markets.
