The winery
The newly built winery is the heart of Colle Firata’s
wine making process. It is endowed with the most modern equipment that
recent developments in oenological science and technology offer to
producers prepared to invest in excellence. The equipment includes a
stainless steel bladder press to gently free the juice from grapes, a
number of thermo-regulated steel tanks to control the temperature during
fermentation, a micro-oxygenation kit for a measured oxygen transfer
during the ageing of wines in steel tanks, a multi-stage filtration plant
to refine the clarity of the final product, French and American oak
barriques, carefully selected and used only once. Nothing is left to
chance either during the aging of wines in wooden barrels or during their
further maturation in bottles. Both these phases are vital for producing
quality wines. Therefore, temperature and humidity are kept constant, to
avoid fluctuation in temperature and the drying out of barriques and corks
, which would cause a too rapid evolution of the wines. An expert and
capable young oenologist, educated at one of the most renowned Italian
institutes of oenology, is our indispensable consultant for the entire
wine making process.
The welcome area
Colle Firata aims to create a trusting relationship with
visitors and customers, based on openness and familiarity. The best way to
achieve this is to offer excellent products at a good price, so that they
satisfy demanding and passionate buyers, who are our primary target.
However, we believe that an intimate knowledge of this land, and of the
passionate commitment of its wine growers is important for appreciating
wine as a symbol of culture and a refined way of life. To this end Colle
Firata has created a welcome area consisting of a comfortable room, and a
lovely garden where we will be happy to receive visitors who wish to spend
time tasting our wines, and relaxing in a peaceful countryside.
