Colle Nero by Terre Nere: Montalcino’s Best, Exclusively at Big Hammer Wines

Colle Nero is Big Hammer Wines' exclusive label from Terre Nere, a family-run winery in Tuscany’s famed Montalcino region. This limited wine reflects the Vallone family’s deep passion for the land.

In 1996, Pasquale Vallone, inspired by his love for agriculture, bought 37 acres in Montalcino and planted the first vines with his family. What started as a weekend hobby became one of the region’s most respected estates.

Named after the volcanic “Black Land,” Terre Nere’s vineyard thrives on Sangiovese, with a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon, producing wines of rare depth and complexity.

Now led by winemaker Niccolò and Pasquale’s children, Francesca and Federico, Terre Nere practices sustainable, biodynamic farming and is certified organic.

Colle Nero is located just next to the prestigious Poggio di Sotto, where wines are priced at $300 per bottle.

Colle Nero by Terre Nere: Montalcino’s Best-Kept Secret

Right next to Poggio di Sotto, where wines top $300 a bottle, Colle Nero’s vineyards thrive in Montalcino’s legendary terroir. Rich clay and limestone soils, coupled with the perfect elevation and a continental climate, create the ideal home for Sangiovese Grosso—the star of Brunello. This is the grape that makes Brunello one of the best wines in the world, and Colle Nero delivers that magic at a fraction of the price.

The "Colle Nero" Approach

At Colle Nero, Terre Nere embraces traditional winemaking methods, with a focus on minimal intervention to truly highlight the unique character of the fruit and the terroir. Their wines undergo extended maceration and are aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for three years, followed by six months in bottle. This meticulous process creates wines that are not only elegant and well-structured but also possess the remarkable ability to age gracefully, reflecting the essence of the Montalcino landscape.

"If you want to understand what great Italian wine is all about, buy a bottle of Brunello. No wine in Italy matches Tuscany's Brunello di Montalcino when it comes to class and age-ability." ~Wine Spectator
