BRUNELLO DI MONTALCINO DOCG
| The Antico Colle estate is located amongst the vast hills of the Tuscan countryside at the heart of green vineyards of Montepulciano’s Vino Nobile wine-growing area. Three generations of the Frangiosa family have dedicated themselves with boundless passion to the cultivation of their wines, and it is thanks precisely to this continuity of knowledge passed down from father to son, that the Antico Colle label is born and known for the production of vintage wines. The Antico Colle family business is located on the eastern side of Montepulciano, whereas the vineyards are spread amongst varoius strips of council land covered by the DOCG certificate. The estate is made up in total of about 25 hectares of land. |

| The “Antico Colle” Vino Nobile di Montepulciano is made exclusively with Sangiovese grapes. The harvest normally takes place in October, once the fruit has reached optimum condition. The alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature (no higher than 30° C), the grapes are crushed and the must re-passed over the grape dregs. The fermentation and maceration process takes between 18-22 days. Following on from the maceration of the grape skins the wine is drawn off from the vats with a light pressing of the remaining skins and seeds. The aging process takes place over a period of 24 months in wooden oak casks of small and medium capacity from Slavonia. Before being made available for sale the wine is refined in bottles for 6 months. The colour of this wine is an intense and deep ruby red. The extremely fine and elegant aroma is one of red fruit and berries. It has a long lasting and persistent flavour with a very pleasant aromatic aftertaste.

| The practice of wine production gets lost in our ancestors' memory. Producing wine was certainly not the main activity, but in the context of the rural family life of 18th and 19th centuries, wine growing was a spread practice in our territory. When, at the end of 19th century, wine growing could finally be developed, little plots of land were entirely dedicated to wine production and the vineyards were very similar to those developed during the last thirty years. In the last decades the agricultural activity has been renewed and it has become a new type of cultivation where almost philosophical criteria have been practised, undertaking a pioneering qualitative route. During those years we renewed the first vineyards in the areas of Olivers, Soris and Kolaus. |
