AZIENDA AGRICOLA SAN POLO

The AZIENDA AGRICOLA SAN POLO is located in the middle of the beautiful hills of Castelvetro di Modena covered with Grasparossa and Trebbiano gvineyards’ grapes where we have been producing wine since 1938.
The company was founded by the owner's grandfather, who already had a dream at the time: to produce quality wines. In 1994 the company proudly obtained organic certification.
Our 8 hectares of non-irrigated vines of an average age of 25 years are guarantee of a wellstructured final product full of with important marks.
Our niche production is of maximum 30,000 bottles per year and we wish to preserve it by carrying our work from the harvest to the labeling 100% manual.
We intervene in a very limited way during vinification by adding only a very small quantity of Galla tannin, leaving our wines resting on their native yeasts, the only ones used for the second fermentation occuring in the bottle which takes place in spring when the temperatures rise.
With the must coming from the Grasparossa and Trebbiano grapes of our vineyards, according to an old know-how belonging to the Ghiddi family, we proudly produce the delicious balsamic condiment that comes to life in about 150 barrels of oak, cherry, chestnut and juniper that form the former family vinegar maker almost a century old.
The balsamic condiment has been the highest expression of our territory since immemorial time; the first traces of which date back to 1508 when it was already used at the court of the Duke of Modena Alfondo I d'Este, husband of Lucrezia Borgia.
Our balsamic vinaigrette is as authentic as the locals who represent it. The only two ingredients we use to make it are cooked grape must and wine vinegar. Our production is limited and exclusive to around 40ql per year.
