Corrado Dottori’s family has tended vines in San Michele near the town of Cupramontana in the Marche for three generations. The rolling hills at around three hundred metres above sea level, firm clay-limestone soils and that all-important fluctuation between temperatures day and night found here provide the perfect conditions for growing the region’s fascinating local grapes. Across the seven hectares of vineyards, biodiversity is both championed and cherished, you’ll find fava beans, peas, alfalfa, wild mint and more in between the rows of vines, providing diverse surroundings in which the plants thrive. The focus on attaining pure, characterful fruit through organic viticulture and low yields.
