ANTICA FRATTA
.
ELEGANCE, EXCLUSIVITY, AND PLEASURE: ALL OF THE DECISIONS RELATIVE TO THE ANTICA FRATTA PROJECT ARE INSPIRED BY THESE KEY THEMES. BEGINNING WITH ITS WINES, OF COURSE, BUT MUCH MORE THAN THIS. DETAILS ARE WHAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND THE ANTICA FRATTA APPROACH PUTS IT IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN. NEAR-OBSESSIVE ATTENTION IS FOCUSSED ON PACKAGING AND IMAGE, WHICH IS DECIDEDLY UNUSUAL IN THE WORLD OF WINE. A PRODUCTION THAT IS JUST AS PAINSTAKINGLY MONITORED AS IT IS LIMITED, ENTRUSTED TO CAREFULLY-SELECTED PARTNERS: THIS IS OUR CONCEPTION OF EXCLUSIVITY. WE ARE RESTORING MAN AND HIS PROFESSIONALISM TO THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE, FASHIONING AN INTIMATE BOND AND CLOSE COLLABORATION BETWEEN THOSE WHO PRODUCE AND THOSE WHO SELL ANTICA FRATTA, ENSURING THAT THIS PROJECT REMAINS A COHESIVE, SHARED INITIATIVE.

LONG EXPERIENCE HAS TAUGHT THAT THE QUALITY OF A WINE IS CREATED ABOVE ALL IN THE VINEYARD THAT YIELDED IT. DETERMINING ELEMENTS, THEREFORE, ARE THE INDIVIDUAL CLONE OF THE GRAPEVINES, DENSITY OF VINES PER HECTARE, LOW YIELD PER VINE, AND HAND PICKING OF THE CLUSTERS AT PRECISELY THE RIGHT DEGREE OF RIPENESS.

THE CORK BECOMES A GEM THROUGH A TRIPLE LAYER OF VALUES: THE CORK IS ENRICHED WITH THE MEMORY OF THE MOMENT CELEBRATED BY OPENING THE BOTTLE “CRYSTALLIZE THE EMOTION OF A SPECIAL MOMENT IN THE SPECIAL CORK OF THE CELEBRATORY BOTTLE” THE “EVOCATIVE” CORK IS ENRICHED BY PRECIOUS MATERIALS THE “GEM” CORK IS ENRICHED BY THE RITUAL OF ITS PRODUCTION.
