Frizzano’s story begins with a simple idea —

that life’s best moments deserve to be celebrated with sparkle. This vision took shape when Ashwin Rodrigues, a chartered accountant turned passionate winemaker, saw the potential to create a new kind of wine culture in India — one that was festive, approachable, and full of flair.

 

Frizzano’s story begins with a simple idea —

that life’s best moments deserve to be celebrated with sparkle. This vision took shape when Ashwin Rodrigues, a chartered accountant turned passionate winemaker, saw the potential to create a new kind of wine culture in India — one that was festive, approachable, and full of flair.

After training in Australia’s renowned Barossa Valley, Ashwin returned to India with a mission: to craft quality sparkling wines that bring people together. In 2011, the journey started with the launch of Rio Fizzy Wine. What began as a fun and easy-drinking wine soon sparked a much bigger dream — to make India’s finest sparkling wines.

That dream led to the creation of Good Drop Wine Cellars, India’s first specialist sparkling wine winery, located in the heart of Nashik’s wine region. Designed specifically for the Charmat Method of winemaking, the winery quickly became a hub for innovation and excellence.

It was here that Frizzano Sparkling Wine was born —

 a brand inspired by Italian bubblies, but deeply rooted in Indian celebrations. From the first pour, Frizzano was made for joy — for toasts that last longer, laughter that gets louder, and memories that shine brighter.

Today, Frizzano continues to evolve, but its soul remains the same: to make every moment sparkle. Because no matter the occasion — big or small — there’s always a reason to Celebrate Life.
