Evasio Sattanino established his wine estate "Il Vino dei Padri" at Monale, in Asti Province, with the aim of continuing the family tradition of wine-making, growing grapes in sunny old hillside vineyards, with ideal soil composition and microclimate.
The name of the estate, literally translated, "The Wine of Fathers" shows the engagement to follow in both vineyards and cellars the ancient rules of wine making, with the utmost respect of consumers' health. The wines produced are the typical ones of the Asti area.
