WINE-MAKING
The “Antico Colle” Chianti Colli Senesi is made with a mixture of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
The harvest normally takes place at the end of September.
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 14-16 days. Following on from the maceration of the grapes skins the wine is drawn off from the vets with a light pressing of the remaining skins and seeds.

The Antico Colle estate is located amongst the vast hills of the Tuscan countryside, at the heart of the green vineyards of Montepulciano's Vino Nobile wine-growing area. Three generation of the Frangiosa family have dedicated themselves whit boundless passion of the cultivation of their vines, 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.
