Duipuvrun was founded in 2015 by Stefano Scavino and takes its name from the old Piedmontese saying Dui puvrun bagna'n't l'oli (two peppers soaked in oil), the litmus test for discovering genuine Piedmontese style. After training as an architect and a period in the academic world, Stefano began to grow a hillside vegetable garden using the bio-intensive method in the hamlet of Santa Margherita in Costigliole d'Asti. Biointensive production is a method that is part of the broader category known as organic or natural agriculture. It is an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, with low mechanisation and without fertilisers, and based on soil fertility care.Stefano takes care of all the process stages, from the reproduction of seeds of autochthonous varieties, both rare and not, to the processing of products in the laboratory (artichokes in oil, Cerrato tomato conserve, Piedmontese green tomato hors d'oeuvre, jams, Piedmontese cognà, dried fruit, etc.). The most distinctive products are the Asti sorì artichoke (recognised Slow Food Presidium), the cerrato tomato of Asti, the hunchback cardoon, the navone cabbage, the square pepper of Asti, the Tumaticot pepper, the Revigliasco d'Asti cherry, wild herbs and edible flowers.
