Machinery & Equipment

We look to the future

Our company has always used high-tech equipment and machinery both in the agronomic sector and inside the cellar for the manufacture, process and packaging operations.

Our company values fully represent the words pronounced by our founder Francesco Gabriele D'Onofrio, great thinker of his time:

“Buy an umbrella when there is the sun. When it rains you will be luckier than the others...”

This is innovation. This means being on the march and looking beyond.

Oenological Projects

To create reference oenological works

To be a young company in its spirit and in the age of its protagonists, Cascina del Colle has soon tried, experienced and looked for novelties and for diversities. One of the first projects carried out by our company has been 'Wine Without Added Sulfites'. This idea originated from Gianluca D'Onofrio's Dissertation on Oenology and Viticulture where vinification was tested on the first 25 hectoliters of Trebbiano grapes in 2016 with excellent results. The same test was performed the next year with Montepulciano red grapes. During the next harvests, the improving of protocols and the expertise let the company grow significantly. Actually BIO ZERO ROSSO and BIO ZERO BIANCO without added sulfites are the most innovative wines par excellence. This is demonstrated by the increasing and continuous request from customers based in Asia, the USA and Northern Europe.

Another important project started by our company is TERREBACIATE- Cascina del Colle Production Reserved. This project was strongly endorsed by Alfredo Grifone, our Sales Director, as he has always been focused on the importance of commercial expansion in new and demanding markets. This project originates from the intuition of Nazario D'Onofrio, our Boss who some years ago planted Syrah grapes again (international vine variety) in the company for pleasure. TERREBACIATE was born from the desire of the family Nazario D'Onofrio to explore new oenological perspectives. The goal is to mix the tradition of our local products to the most important international vine varieties. Terrebaciate stands for the meeting of innovation with traditional culture to create unique products.

Last but not the least, we wanted to create wines from Falanghina grapes (manufactured by us), though they do not grow in our region. After the refermentation process inside a closed tank we got Brut Sparking Wine. The aroma of Falanghina grapes let us have excellent results in the creation of sparkling wines, though this variety of grapes is not from our region./
