i. Biography
Marzemino and the vineyards of Fossalta di Piave set the working frame at De Stefani, where family succession is part of the production record rather than decoration. As fourth-generation winemaker at De Stefani, Alessandro De Stefani brings a graduate’s training in oenology and viticulture to a cellar culture carried forward through repeated vintages. The Red Marzemino grape sits at the center of his stated specialty. The working language Alessandro uses—satisfaction, dedication, love, professionality—points to wine as a daily family craft, executed with collaborators and measured by the result in bottle. Vintage assessment is part of the winemaker’s trade: reading a year clearly, then naming its place among recent harvests. Speaking of the Vintage 2016 and 2015, Alessandro said, “The Vintage 2016, as well as the 2015, represents an excellence … one of the best of the last years!”

Signature
Alessandro's signature wines include Stèfen 1624, Tombola di Pin Millesime, Malanotte - single vineyard, Olmèra - single vineyard, and Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut. The range names several registers of production: a heritage-marked cuvée in Stèfen 1624, a vintage expression in Tombola di Pin Millesime, two site-led bottlings in Malanotte - single vineyard and Olmèra - single vineyard, and an appellation brut in Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut. In trade terms, the list moves between lineage, vintage, parcel, and denomination without separating any of them from cellar execution. The binding claim is continuity of work. At De Stefani, Alessandro frames wine as the product of family, collaborators, care, and repeated craft. That emphasis keeps attention on the labor behind the bottle: the daily decisions made before service, before sale, and before the cork is drawn.
