Casa Vinicola Abbazia

What Casa Vinicola Abbazia does

Casa Vinicola Abbazia di San Gaudenzio Srl is a privately held, family-owned Italian winery headquartered in Santo Stefano Belbo (Piedmont), operating continuously since 1848 and now in its fifth generation of Santero family ownership. The company produces a broad portfolio of still and sparkling wines organized across multiple sub-brands — Fortuna (pandemic-era sparkling line), Atmosphere (HORECA-targeted premium sparklings in a distinctive short-wide bottle), Impronte (founder-sealed terroir wines), Zoë (sustainability/endangered-species themed line supporting the FOR NATURE FOR US fund), Originali (everyday sparkling/frizzante including Lambrusco, Fragolino, Spritz and zero-alcohol variants), Vini (still wines including Barolo DOCG, Barbera d'Asti DOCG, Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Chianti DOCG), and Fiorino d'Oro (award-winning Prosecco and Lambrusco). Production draws on approximately 60 hectares of owned vineyards across four estates (Torbané, Fontanette, Pelassa, La Giungla) plus contracted local growers, totaling roughly 2,000 tons of grapes per year and 10+ million bottles annual output.

The underlying technology is traditional Italian winemaking combined with the Charmat method for sparkling production, with BRC and IFS FOOD certifications (held since 2006) and partnership status in both the Asti and Prosecco consortia. A differentiator is 'heroic viticulture' at La Giungla (steep 40% gradient at 350m elevation, manual harvest, dry-stone-wall preservation) and pioneering Moscato Nero recovery trials at the Pelassa estate. The business model is wholesale B2B: the company sells through HORECA channels (Atmosphere line), specialist wine shops, and international export wholesale to Europe, USA, Canada and other markets, with no direct-to-consumer e-commerce pricing disclosed on its site. Revenue crossed €10 million in 2009 and current turnover is not publicly disclosed; recurring marketing/credibility activity centers on participation in international wine competitions (50+ awards 2012-2026 across Decanter, Mundus Vini, Gilbert & Gaillard, Luca Maroni, Falstaff, Prosecco Masters, and others).
