About Winery and Wines
Cantina del Frignano is a small organic winery producing high-quality wines in the territory of Frignano Basso, in the province of Modena. Its history began in 1993 with a first experimental vineyard from the Emilia Romagna region, and later in 2000 and 2001 other vineyards were planted. Today the winery covers an area of just over 5 hectares, all planted with vines, and their annual production is around 22,000 bottles.
Cantina del Frignano's vineyards are located from 450 to 550 meters above sea level. The temperature ranges enhance the peculiarities of the area. The soils are composed of good parts of clay, silt, and sand, in balanced quantities, chalky, particularly suitable for sparkling wine grapes, classic method, and in other parts in clay soils suitable for red grapes. The vines per hectare are about 4,000. Harvesting is done exclusively by hand.
