Then in March we tie up the canes and, from May-June, we tie up the leaves, strictly by hand. Starting from July, the green parts are tipped and in August the vines are defoliated to favour the ripening of the grapes. The grass in the rows and aisles is cut mechanically.

The treatments are carried out in the cool hours of the day, starting from the first fortnight of May until the end of July.<\/span><\/p>\n In order to produce our certified organic wines, the grapes are hand-picked when they are ripe and placed in crates, paying special attention to the selection of only the best grape bunches. White grapes for sparkling wines are harvested at the end of August, for white wines they are picked in mid-September and red grapes for red wines are gathered from 25 September.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”FERTILISING” _builder_version=”4.2.1″ background_color=”rgba(255,255,255,0.85)” background_enable_color=”on” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Autumn organic fertilising in the vineyard is carried out on alternate rows. The supply of nutrients after the harvest and before vegetative dormancy allows the vines to accumulate reserves of substances that are very useful for their subsequent growth cycle in spring. Moreover, this type of fertilisation offers the advantage of appropriately preparing the vines to survive the winter and for their new growth in spring.<\/span><\/p>\n After fertilisation, the mechanical tillage of the soil is carried out in alternate rows and in the aisles.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Footer ENG” _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#38353a” global_module=”1104″][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.fradewine.it\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Frad\u00e8SauvignonFooter.jpg” alt=”Frad\u00e9 Souvignon” title_text=”Frad\u00e8SauvignonFooter” _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#ffffff” header_text_color=”#ffffff”]<\/p>\n Frad\u00e9 is the brand of the Boffenisio and Cattabrega estates, situated in the heart of the Oltrep\u00f2 Pavese, the southern part of the province of Pavia.
