Pederzana winery cultivates a unique clone of Grasparossa of Castelvetro. The founder Franco Simonini, a passionate wine-grower, started his cooperation with the University of Bologna with a goal to identify the best clones of the noble variety that was prevalent in the area. After much experimentation, he succeeded in isolating a clone of Grasparossa which, many years later his nephew Francesco Gibellini discovered to be unique among the range of clones registered with the Experimental Institution for Viticulture. Today Pederzana is a modern yet traditional estate that is perfectly integrated within its natural and geographic setting. The rest of its history is waiting to be discovered in every bottle it makes.
