Recognizing the potential of Doglio—a picturesque site near Todi—he established his own estate, building a new cellar surrounded by newly planted, organically certified vineyards. From the start, biodiversity was central to his approach. Rather than clearing the land completely, he preserved existing olive trees and integrated the vineyard into the natural landscape, creating a balanced, resilient ecosystem. His goal is clear: to produce wines that are natural, high-quality, and true to the region’s character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVineyard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll vines are grown at an altitude of around 500 meters above sea level and without the use of systemic treatments, chemical fertilizers and herbicides. The soils are both clay and tufa. The vines are old and have been overgrafted and trained to Guyot. The vineyard is remote, beautiful and certified organic. Iacopo believes in biodiversity at the property and uses herb cover crops that grow naturally. He left old olive trees between plots of vines to foster a healthy ecosystem within his vineyard. While not fully biodynamic, he does follow many of its practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSkin maceration occurs for 5 days followed by about a month to complete natural fermentation. The wine then spends several months on the lees with frequent battonage in stainless steel before being bottled in February or March of the year after harvest. Other than a small dose of sulfur dioxide, there are no additives, interventions or manipulations in the winemaking process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939035676903,"sku":null,"price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/thebottleshopbeverly.myshopify.com\/products\/2024-iacopo-paolucci-il-ponziano","provider":"The Bottle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
