## About

The Fracchia family has made wine in Grazzano Badoglio, in the Asti part of Monferrato, since Vittorio Fracchia started the business in 1919, and the fourth generation is now at work. Sulin itself is younger: in the 2000s Mauro and Fabio Fracchia pooled all of the family's vineyards into one estate that only grows, makes and sells its own wine, with an eye on export markets.

The name is dialect for "sunny", a nod to vineyards on south-facing hilltops and slopes in Grazzano Badoglio and Ottiglio. Each plot carries the name of someone close to the family, from Adriano and Ornella to Giovanni and Provino, and the soils are calcareous. The range runs from the Barbera del Monferrato Centum and the Superiore Ornella to Grignolino, Casorzo Malvasia, a Barbera Chinato and a small project reviving forgotten local grapes such as Slarina and Baratuciat.
