Fradé was born in 2018 from the will of the brothers Francesco and Federico to obtain genuine
and excellent wines following the dictates of organic farming, using only natural substances
for the defense and nourishment of their vineyards.
The name Fradé, which in the Oltrepò dialect means "brothers", is also the derived acronym of
the initial parts of the proper names FRAncesco and Federico (DEde) Piaggi, young farmers
and winemakers from Oltrepò Pavese.

The company is located in the natural basin of Boffenisio at a height of 300 meters above
sea level. And operates on a medium-sized farm with an extension of 25 hectares, of which
9 are vineyards. The vineyards are exposed to the north, north-east, south-east, north-west
and east, where they are present Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Riesling, Moscato, Pinot Nero,
Barbera, Croatina, Merlot, Cabernet grapes Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The area is very
popular and is surrounded and protected by woods.
The company is a family business, where all the steps are followed personally with love and
experience, from work in the vineyards to processing and sale.

The Fradé say: "We grew up in the fields, but the first time we saw Boffenisio we were
seized by a sensation of warmth and intoxicated by the scents. It was late spring, the vineyards
looked like a green carpet stretched out in the natural basin and the woods crowned it the
slopes as if to protect the ancient fruit. We went back in the autumn, the green left the place
to oxidized colors in a palette of browns, reds and yellows and scents they had changed,
stabilized. Then again among a blanket of white and silent snow, then between the blooms and
scents of spring, then the dream came true, in these places of beauty without respite ".
