The Pederzana Estate cultivates a clone of Lambrusco Grasparossa that is to be found nowhere else in the world: this clone produces Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro DOC wines with a long history behind them. Everything began just after the Second World War, when Franco Simonini , an impassioned and enlightened vine-grower of Castelvetro, decided to intersect his destiny with the one of a splendid farm in the zone. Together with his wife Margherita, he also started cooperating very closely with the University of Bologna in a bid to identify the best clones of the noble variety that was prevalent in the area, Grasparossa di Castelvetro. After much experimentation, he succeeded in isolating a clone of Grasparossa which, many years later, his nephew Francesco Gibellini – who now runs the company together with his uncle Massimo – discovered to be unique among the range of clones registered with the Experimental Institute 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 produces. On the gentle hills of Solignano Vecchio, Pederzana jealously preserves its ancient strain of Grasparossa grafted onto Golia rootstock in Guyot-trained vineyards with a plant density of around 4000 vines per hectare. The estate covers an area of fourteen hectares (35 acres), including deciduous woodland containing oaks and other trees as well as a natural lake. The vineyards are mainly divided up between two zones, of which one (just below the winery) has  south-easterly exposure and the other faces complete east. This results in different times of ripening and varied characteristics. The harvesting at Pederzana takes place entirely by hand, selecting the ripest and healthiest parcels of grapes, from which are produced – in particularly favourable years – the special wines: Puntamora, Cantolibero and the estate’s pride and joy, Ubi Maior, made from perfect grapes chosen bunch by bunch in one of Pederzana’s small vineyard sites.
