Cellar: Vittorio Graziano

The cellar of Vittorio Graziano is located in Castelvetro di Modena, a splendid village of the Modena hills. Its vineyards are 200 m. on sandy, clay and gravel soils, and are reared with varieties typical of the area, of which Graziano does not know the name, but having found them in the place then played them by mass selection. Graziano is a true, authentic vintner, who is the bearer of a long-lived farming practice that consists of bottling reforestation. All of its wines are bottled in the cold months, when the fermentation stops naturally, and the wine still remains in the wine. With the arrival of spring, fermentation resumes, with the formation of the foam. Pure juice without added must and sugar. Three wines produced; the Ripa di Sopravento which is a sparkling white wine, Smilzo, a sparkling rosé wine, and The Woods Fountain, which is surely its cru.
