My father was a notary and purchased il Colle<\/strong> in 1972, which has been our holiday home ever since. The first three hectares of vineyards were planted in the same year, and I still take care of them as of today. In 1977, my father had eventually uncorked the first of his Brunello<\/strong> bottles with a few friends. He perfectly managed to balance the busy city rhythms of a sworn notary with his own leisure: that is driving a tractor in the middle of the vineyards and breathing the air of Montalcino<\/strong>. One day, he found a bronze-coloured object stuck in the plow of the tractor on which he used to spend his weekends. The figure depicted a C-shaped greyhound: \u201cC<\/strong>\u201d as both Carli and Colle. Since none of the people he consulted seemed certain about the origin, perhaps Etruscan, he resigned himself by saying: \u201cthe past might be uncertain, but the future will be bright<\/em>\u201d. Indeed, that greyhound has stayed on our labels ever since.[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”30″ down=”0″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]In 1998, still just for fun but with great enthusiasm, he planted another 5 hectares of vineyards at Castelnuovo Dell\u2019Abate<\/strong> of which, unfortunately, he only managed to wintess the first harvest. My father would have probably wanted me doing anything but this job: too dependent on atmospheric agents, uncontrollable, independent of human action. Curiously, what he saw as an obstacle sounds like freedom to me; anything he looked at as a risk was an opportunity. I turned what used to be no more than his “hobby” into a job that truly fascinates me, also thanks to the guidance of Giulio Gambelli<\/strong>, who has always been at my side, protecting me with professionalism and competence. Since then, a lot of wine has gone through our barrels, dreams and projects have eventually taken shape, leaving me more and more convinced that making wine is my true passion. Il Colle\u2019s Brunello<\/strong>, Rosso<\/strong> and Come Se<\/strong> are indeed my “bright future<\/em>“, just what my father had hoped for me [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”15″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”16″ down=”0″][vc_row_inner row_type=”row” type=”full_width” use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=”no” text_align=”left” padding_top=”50″ padding_bottom=”0″ css_animation=”” box_shadow_on_row=”no”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1908″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” eltd_css_animation=””][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”34″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”transparent” up=”22″ down=”0″][vc_column_text]In a small company like mine, we\u2019ve got to take care of a little bit of everything.
