Nestled among the hills of Nizza Monferrato, we produce our wines with a specific passion for combining elegance and a respect for tradition. The Frasca Family’s deep affection for Piemonte and its renowned wines fueled their decision to return to Italy, driven by the aspiration to craft elegant, terroir-driven wines in Nizza Monferrato. Their encounter with winemaker Matteo Gerbi ignited the spark that transformed this vision into reality. Hailing from Asti, Matteo’s extensive experience in esteemed Langhe wineries provided invaluable guidance, sharing in the family’s journey from its inception. Today, Matteo leads a dedicated team from vineyards to cellar, steadfastly pursuing the original inspiration while keeping an eye on the future. Spanning 22 hectares, the Frasca Winery encompasses vineyards across Nizza Monferrato, Agliano Terme, and Moasca, celebrated for their exquisite expressions of Barbera, Freisa, Grignolino, Riesling, and Arneis.
