Colle Bereto Il Tocco 2017

The choice of Colle Bereto, a village still to be discovered in the context of Radda in Chianti, was almost immediate. The charm of a place that remained as it was in the previous century, and still a little wild, conquered them without hesitation. It was the end of the 70s and the enthusiasm of the choice made at that time never failed. Having the chance to find ourselves in such a magical and genuine place has taught a lot and helped unite them more and more. To obtain a good wine it takes years of dedication, since the campaign, to restore the commitment, requires time, care and above all, a lot of patience. So they faced their first big project with even greater commitment and scrupulousness. They wanted more than anything to restore dignity to that place that had conquered them so much, and at the same time to preserve its architectural identity because its origins date back to the 11th century. They are still sensitive to making the improvements that serve to make Colle Bereto live in a current context but always respecting its authenticity. The atmosphere you breathe here cannot be told, you must feel it. The cellars were built inside the original structures. Today, after many restoration works, they are still in the same premises but are organized following the most modern winemaking techniques, with drop-down transfer procedures, which take advantage of the natural slope on which the ancient buildings rest. From the beginning of the activity, they began to think of a wine that identified itself as belonging to Colle Bereto, regardless of the current fashions or privileged markets. The first production in which they managed to achieve exactly what they wanted with excellent results was 1983. Another success they particularly care about was reviving three hectares of land.
