Small organic cellar aimed at high quality
Our vineyards located in Frignano Basso, are located from 450 to 550 meters above sea level. The thermal excursions enhance the peculiarity of the territory. The soils are largely composed of clay, silt, sand, in balanced quantities, chalky, particularly suitable for classic method sparkling wine grapes and in another part clayey soils suitable for red berried grapes. The vines per hectare are approximately 4000. The harvest is manual.
The yield is 50/60 quintals per hectare. Thus it began in 1993 with a first experimental vineyard in the Emilia Romagna Region and subsequently in 2000 and 2001 other vineyards were planted. Today the company is spread over an area of just over 5 hectares, all planted with vineyards and the annual production is around 22,000 bottles.
Given the microclimate and the altitude (450-550 meters above sea level), medium-early varieties and native grapes were planted such as Malbo Gentile, Uva Tosca and Uva Lambrusca (Grasparossa), but the best products are those that exploit the territory where they live and all its properties, the rest planted with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet and Trebbiano
The territory of Frignano occupies the central part of the Modenese Apennines of Gallo-Celtic origin. In fact, it was the Friniati, Ligurian-Provençal people who lived there for centuries. There are numerous testimonies in culture and gastronomy. Known are the crescentine and borlenghi.
During the Este period the capital, Pavullo, dominated by the Montecuccoli Counts was also the seat of the summer residence of the Dukes of Modena and the hilly areas were intensely cultivated with vines. The economic relevance of the vine in the Frignano area had a far greater importance than that of the chestnut tree, in fact the production was, as Sorbelli affirms, profitable and plentiful, so much so that many statutes, such as the one in Frignano in 1337, required every family to farmers to plant a certain amount of land on vines each year.
In the Frignano we find Lambrusca, Trebbiana, Golden Grapes, Barbera, Covra, but by far the most cultivated was the Tosca grape, so much so as to justify a factory of black wine bottles in Pavullo.
