Cantina Fregnan - A Family Tradition in Tuscany's Casentino Valley

Located in the picturesque Casentino Valley of Tuscany, Cantina Fregnan is a family-owned winery with a rich history dating back to the 20th century. Under the guidance of Roberto Fegnan, the winery focuses on crafting exceptional sparkling wines from single grape varieties, showcasing the unique terroir of the region.

Pioneering Metodo Classico in Tuscany

Founded in 2009, Cantina Fregnan made history as the first winery in its province to produce Metodo Classico, a prestigious sparkling wine. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Casentinese forests, Roberto planted the Vigna del Patriota vineyard in the rolling hills of Poppi. With a shared passion for winemaking, Roberto and Maria Grazia have cultivated a project that now offers a range of delightful sparkling and red wines under IGT labels.

Organic Italian Wines

In 2013, Roberto expanded his vineyards to include native Italian grape varieties, planting approximately 7,000 Chardonnay and 3,000 Pinot Noir vines. Although Cantina Fregnan embraced organic farming from the start, it received official organic certification in 2018. The vineyards also feature high-quality grapes such as Ciliegiolo, Foglia Tonda, Sangiovese, and Pugnitello. The winery's cellar, constructed using local vineyard stones, combines traditional and modern winemaking techniques to produce outstanding Metodo Classico and IGT wines, which are aged in French oak barrels for optimal refinement.

The tasting at the Cantina Fregnan is impeccably organized. The wines are truly excellent but the welcome of Roberto Fregnan, the refinement of the details taken care of by his wife Grazia and the competence of the sommelier Leonardo, made the whole day not only pleasant, but also an experience to be repeated.

Beautiful experience! We booked the tasting of Patriota 24 and 36 and we were more than satisfied. First a visit to the vineyard and the cellar with a very interesting and constructive discussion, then the tasting on the panoramic terrace accompanied by cold cuts, cheeses and fresh fruit of the highest quality. To top it all off, the friendliness of those who guided us in this memorable experience.

..Roberto has lived in Casentino for 50 years, imported from the north, he put as in all the things he did, entrepreneurial spirit and vision, no one would have bet on the Casentino sparkling wine... but he arrived, he saw and he won! the patriot is the proof!! Chapeau mon amie!

We found this winery by chance and out of season. We called the phone number and the very friendly owner came to open the door. He showed and explained to us how his sparkling wine is made. His passion and expertise are obvious. The sparkling wines are really excellent. We will be back.

I cannot say enough good about this winery. You should go, defintely...go! The views are out of this world. The wine is crisp, clean, delicate and bold at the same time. The food that came with the tasting was delicious and abundant. There were like 5 courses. And most of all, the people made us feel very welcome. If you are on the fence about going.....just go. I promise it will be the highlight of your trip.
