About the winemaker
Iacopo Paolucci
This project stems from the vision of young winemaker Iacopo Paolucci, whose expertise has been shaped through hands-on experience in some of central Italy’s most respected wineries. 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.
Vineyards and winemaking
The estate is dedicated to showcasing indigenous grape varieties, including Grechetto di Todi, Trebbiano Spoletino, and Grero di Todi—a historic red variety recently rediscovered in the Todi area. Iacopo Paolucci is deeply committed to farming, believing that great wine starts with exceptional fruit. His meticulous vineyard work, carried out at 500 meters above sea level without systemic chemical fertilizers or herbicides, reflects this philosophy. Equally important to him is the region’s history—his focus on native Umbrian varieties is a tribute to the area’s rich winemaking heritage and a commitment to preserving its identity through wine.
