From this winery
  • Start up year: 1979
In all likelihood things, as well as people, have a written destiny; or at least this is what one believes when looking back at the history of this Villa. It owes its present aristocratic appearance to two restructuring procedures, each carried out a century apart.

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.
