Sebastian Van de Sype
Tenuta La Fiaminga was established in 2020 with the conviction to produce wine without any compromise on quality and in complete respect of the natural balance. The estate covers about ten hectares in the town of Castelvetro di Modena in central Italy. Half of the land is planted with Grasparossa grapes and a small portion is cultivated with Trebbiano. The vines average 15 years of age.
This estate is an ambitious project: the construction of a new winery is planned for 2025. In the meantime, grapes are vinified in a nearby facilities, only 500m away from the vineyards.
Sebastian produces Lambrusco Grasparossa di Castelvetro, a sparkling red wine, using ancestral and traditional methods, with the final fermentation happening in the bottle. His goal is to create a natural wine of great quality while avoiding any industrial or corrective techniques.
