Fraghe is a winery that is located in Cavaion Veronese, born from the love of Matilde Poggi to the vineyards of her family. Thirty years ago, Matilde Poggi has decided to make these lands’ grapes, before given to another winery, exclusively her creations, her own wines. Completely independently, without chasing the market and without any paths, she started experimenting with breeding techniques, varieties and blends, coming to own 28 acres dominated by Corvina, native vine of the area.
Being winemaker is not only a profession for Matilde Poggi, it is her past, her present and her future, a way of life that has involved since childhood, spending the afternoons after school to harvest with her father and now becoming President of the Italian Federation of Independent Winegrowers. The love of Matilde Poggi is for each element of this unique terroir: the Monte Baldo that stands in the north, the Lake Garda with its mild climate, the Valdadige crossed by fresh winds.
The identity of the area is told through the wines in her cellar: every detail of the landscape surrounding the vineyard is guarded and respected, as valuable assets to be given as a legacy to the future generations and to be told in all its shades and beauty.
"Matilde Poggi ha dato vita a Le Fraghe nel 1984 e da allora cresce e nutre l'azienda come se fosse una figlia. Anche lei nel tempo è cresciuta, realizzando anno dopo anno la sua vocazione di vignaiola e diventando punto di riferimento per molti colleghi"
