Do.t.e.

We have been farming small plots of vineyards since 2015, some we own and others we rent. Total, we have 4 hectares, all rigorously managed according to common sense through sustainable agricultural practices, respecting both people and nature.
In the cellar we continue to experiment in the total absence of additives. The grapes ferment spontaneously with their own yeasts; sometimes destemmed more often whole-cluster, according to their virtues and our aspirations. Aging time is either short (6–9 months) in inert containers for savory and dynamic wines, or longer (18–24 months) in wood, terracotta and porcelain in order to pursue more profound and meticulous results.

Today we produce small quantities of different wines, thanks to a better experience and evolving taste, all handmade and bottled with the same designation —Vino*— the least noble but the only one favorable to the creative process. - Filippo & Francesca

About the Winemaker

Do.t.e.

do.t.e. (down to earth) represents an innovative venture delving into alternative approaches to contemporary viticulture. Embracing a philosophy of progression through retrospection, we return to the agricultural roots to chart a path towards a more sustainable future. Our mission is to craft wines that authentically express their essence, transcending mere production regulations to embody the core values of our project: health, ethics, and everyday life. With vineyards cultivated since 2015, totaling 4 hectares under our stewardship, we adhere to sustainable agricultural practices that prioritize harmony with both people and nature. In the cellar, our commitment to minimal intervention continues, eschewing additives as grapes ferment spontaneously with their own yeasts.

With its diverse terroir, including hillsides, valleys, and coastal areas, Tuscany provides an ideal environment for sustainable viticulture. Natural winemakers in Tuscany prioritize organic and biodynamic farming methods, cultivating native grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Trebbiano, and Vernaccia with minimal intervention. By eschewing chemical additives and focusing on natural fermentation, they produce wines that showcase the region's rich history and unique terroir. Tuscany's natural wines are known for their elegance, balance, and complexity, with reds offering ripe fruit flavors, firm tannins, and a sense of place that reflects the region's sun-drenched vineyards and rolling hills.
