Über das Weingut und die Weine

FATTORIA AL DOTTO founded in 1863 and currently run by the sixth generation of winemakers, is composed of the union of three ancient farms: Salanetti, Panatta and Al Dotto and extends over an area of 25 hectares located on slight reliefs that constituted the shores of a lake from the Paleolithic era at an average height of 150 meters above sea level.
In addition to the vineyards, olive trees, corn and in the flattest part the famous cannellini beans are grown.
The vineyards are located on the gentle slopes that surround the company center, with a splendid exposure to the South-South West. The proximity of the Serchio river, the influence of the Sirocco winds from Livorno and the summer Mistral, form a particular micro climate that guarantees the grapes a good maturation to the advantage of the organoleptic characteristics of the wine.

In choosing the vines, we wanted to maintain the ancient family winemaking tradition by ensuring the presence of S. Giovese, Ciliegiolo, Canaiolo and Trebbiano toscano bianco, combining them however with other varietal groups such as Merlot, Petit Vierdot, Cabernet Sauvignon for the reds and Semillon and Vermentino for the whites.

The low production of grapes per hectare, scrupulous attention in the various processing phases, a selective harvest, and a controlled vinification followed by aging in French oak barriques, allow us to obtain structured and elegant wines.

Fattoria AL DOTTO has boasted for 20 years, a deep experience in the wine tasting sector offering a rich offer of wine tours and experiences.
