It takes just 5 minutes drive from the center of Colle Val d'Elsa following the road to Mensanello to be in the middle of a beautiful countryside. We are in the hills of Chianti Colli Senesi and here, taking a narrow dirt road drive to a farm in the middle of two vineyards of Sangiovese resting on the hill. The company is called Dovecote and takes its name from the small house of the doves in the past was built on the roof of the farm. Whether you love wine or not, the first impression you get coming here is total harmony.
The company was founded in the 70's, the house and cellar in the middle of the hill surrounded by 4 acres of native vines: Sangiovese, Colorino, Malvasia and Canaiolo. It dates back to 1990, the full conversion to organic certified by 'IMC (Mediterranean Institute of Certification) and in 2007 began the cultivation of vines according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture. It is part of a lifestyle choice that follows the tradition, respect for the land, its use and a way of producing and making wine that is separated oenologist industry.
Speaking with the owners-winemakers Helena and Dante, we understand how the wine is first and foremost a way of life, a passion and then a job. The Biodynamic is indeed a complex matter, a "philosophy of agriculture" so to speak, following the rhythms in human and natural devotion.
The resulting wines are full of natural CHARACTERISTICS of the fruit, no added yeast and minimal amounts of sulfur.
Chianti Colli Senesi of Dovecote, (like any Chianti worthy of the name) the protagonist Sangiovese, Sangiovese of 'one time': pure, dry, brilliant ruby \u200b\u200bred and clear. The grapes used are only those of Tuscany, as usual, sangiovese, Colorino, Malvasia Nera and canaiolo.
A real journey through the land, its culture and of course the seasons that transformed the wine aromas and flavors that go into the bottle and on the tables.
