It all started in 1905, in Castello D’Annone, a town near Asti, where Giuseppe Perlino had the idea to begin trading in the finest Asti wines. Giuseppe’s business was simple, but also modern. Its real capital was the good work ethic and spirit of the Perlino family and their colleagues. By the time the business reached the 1930’s the Perlino family’s passion and tenacity had made it one of the major operators in the sector – a situation that allowed them to move to larger premises in the city of Asti. It was during this period, thanks also to additional investments, that the historic production of sparkling wines and vermouths began, joining the Piedmontese wines and becoming, over time, the real strength of the company. Perlino Vermouth rapidly grew in both domestic and international markets because of its unique recipe. It is now a benchmark for this classic, traditional Piedmontese aperitif. In 1932, the Consortium for the Promotion of Asti was created to protect, promote and enhance the value of Asti DOCG and Moscato d’Asti, in Italy and the world. Perlino was one of its first members and started to improve its production capacity in the sparkling segment. The range of sparkling wines was successively completed by Prosecco Spumante and other blends. The second half of the twentieth century saw successive generations of Perlino’s family continue the business according to the philosophy and values of the company. In the late 90s, the company, now at the height of its activity and consolidation on the national and international markets, built a new site in the nearby village of Montiglio Monferrato. It was here that a special cellar for barrel-aging was installed with the goal of guaranteeing and perfecting the production quality.
IN 2015, PERLINO S.P.A. ENTERED IN THE LA MARTINIQUAISE GROUP, WHO BOUGHT A MAJORITY STAKE, GRANTING THE COMPANY THE OPPORTUNITY FOR FURTHER GROWTH AND MOMENTUM IN BOTH PRODUCTION AND TRADE. At the beginning of 2016, Perlino decides to emphasize the relationship of the company with Asti’s cultural heritage and history, and becomes strongly representative of the territory and Asti’s traditions. 
A commitment today represented in the new company’s logo. After having developed a unique know-how and expertise, Perlino masters today the quality of its products at each step of their development, from the vineyard to the consumer. A story marked by great successes.
With over 80 years experience in supplying high quality sparkling wines globally, Perlino produces wines that are perfectly in tune with world consumer tastes and trends.
Today the cellar master is pouring all of his know-how into the blends of sparkling wines that characterize the perfect Italian style. After a conscientious selection of the musts and yeasts by our oenologists, all our wines are blended according to our technical expertise, and produced with the Martinotti method. This enables us to produce high quality sparkling cuvees.
Beside Sparkling Wines, The company has produced an excellent, high-quality Vermouth for over 100 years. This is now distributed in over 60 countries worldwide. The process of maceration and infusion involves over 20 herbs, all known for their digestive properties. For the extraction of their aromatic component, a hydro-alcoholic infusion is prepared where the herbs are left to rest for over 30 days. The European Parliament recently conferred IGP (protected geographical indication) status to Turin Vermouth, officially recognizing the authenticity of the recipe and its link with Piedmont, a land which has been the home of Perlino since it was established.
