History Leonardo LoCascio, owner and CEO of Winebow Inc., realized that as the popularity of many Italian varietals increased in the United States, so did their prices, often without a comparable increase in quality. Winebow designed Stella (“star” in Italian) to offer a complete line of excellent value wines. All grapes used in the production of Stella wines come from vineyard owners with whom Leonardo has developed a close and trusting relationship over the years.

History All practices in the vineyards follow strict guidelines and only the most modern equipment is employed in the cellars. Stella wines are produced to exhibit true varietal character. In recognition of Winebow’s efforts to deliver the highest quality for the right price, Stella wines have received numerous accolades as "Best Buys" and "Great Value Selections" from food and wine journalists across the U.S.
