Born in Veneto, his Mother was from the Casentino Valley, Roberto Fregnan carried on the family industrial / entrepreneurial tradition that started in the first years of last century with the creation of Fregnan Group that was able to “reach the stars” thanks to the partnership with N.A.S.A. in 1997.

Roberto is a successful industrialist who fell in love at first sight with Maria Grazia and Casentino, the mother land of origin, deciding at the end to return to the source of his passion for wine.

It is among the green Casentinesi forests that Roberto discovered that he is closer than ever to those dreams that he had pursued with his work successes, it is on the hills surrounding Poppi, in Loc. Buiano that Roberto decided to plant “Vigna del Patriota “and start the project of Cantina Fregnan

At night, walking among the company’s organic rows of vines, one almost has the impression that the stars were aligned, ready to be tasted by those who have the patience to wait for the first sip, of a wine that has been dreamed of for fun and which today it represents the activity of Roberto and Maria Grazia, from passion to life.

The silence of the Casentino valley tells us a lot about those who have the patience to listen. On these hills, life flows slowly and nature marks the passing of time again like the old days following the seasons. This ancient territory gives birth to a Metodo Classico that finds in the terroir after waiting for so long, its identity, 36 months of work, dreams and expectations have lead to “Il Patriota”, The Metodo Classico in Casentino.
