Located in Nizza Monferrato, in the heart of Monferrato Area (Piemonte); 20 km from Asti and 30 km from Alba, the Frasca Winery consists of 22 hectares of vineyards, embracing the municipalities of Nizza Monferrato, Agliano Terme and Moasca.

Founded in 2018 by Curt Frasca (Italian American wine connoisseur, fallen in love with Barbera and Monferrato) and Matteo Gerbi (formerly WM of iconic Wineries such as G.D. Vajra and Bruno Giacosa), these vineyards have been selected with patience to enhance the different characteristics of the territory and are managed with care and passion, to respect the Earth and Man.

Frasca “Sèj” Monferrato Bianco DOC is a singular, highly unique white wine in the Frasca portfolio, combining the aromas of Arneis (peach and white flowers) with the freshness of Riesling. The name Sèj translates to “thirst” in the local Piedmontese dialect, referencing how crisp and easy-drinking the wine is. On the label are flashes of the Guaragna starry sky on summer nights.
