Company History
The company was founded in 1950 when the grandparents of the current
owners, the brothers Giuliano and Gessica Frollani, moved to Tuscany,
and more exactly to Bolgheri, in Castagneto Carducci municipality.
Since then, the family Frollani has always cultivated their own land located adjacent to Via Bolgherese, for producing vegetables, oil and wine. In 1997, the traditional cultivation system was changed to leave more and more room to vineyard. In fact, two-hectare vineyard was set up with high plant density, chosen clones, low yield per hectare and international grape varities as Cabernet and Merlot. In 2001, a further transformation took place when the brothers Giuliano and Gessica Frollani met the agronomist Gianni Moscardini and they all decide to tune together their experience on both the practical and the theoretical ground, and to set up the vineyard on their whole area, changing the traditional culivation system. Since then the farm business called "Fattoria Casa di Terra" was created. Its aim is to be a model farm: approximately 25-hectare vineyard in extremely good conditions with rose bushes to the end of rows of wine in an area where, thanks to the happy combination of suitable weather and soil, the vines produces at its best, as witnessed by the grown plants of the neighbouring farms. |
