Respecting the environment, our territory, also involves agronomic practices such as controlled grassing and green manure. No herbicides are used in Dosio, because grass, and its roots, provide the soil with the oxygen it needs and ensure a natural balance, protecting it from erosion. Additionally, we adopt a very close planting pattern to favour the deep rooting of the vines. Furthermore, in our vineyards, we continue the ancient practice of green manure, which involves cultivating the soil in rotation with various types of plants – legumes or grasses, for example. These plants are then incorporated into the soil with the primary goal of enriching it with organic substances useful for the growth of the vine and increasing its resistance to drought.

In our vineyards, we adopt biological defense methods aimed at combating the spread of vineyard pests: to protect our vineyards from grape moths and leafhoppers – two common pests – we employ the natural method of mating disruption using pheromones. Generally, in our vineyard estate, we primarily use state-of-the-art defense products that are environmentally friendly and promote the presence of bees and other insects crucial to the balance of the ecosystem in which we live and work every day.

In Dosio, the constant and continuous search for the quality of both the final product and the processes, soil and structures, has always been one of our founding values. The traditions, the experience and the peasant wisdom, handed down from generation to generation, guide our daily work. This is why almost all the processes in the vineyard are carried out manually: from pruning to checkering until the most awaited moment of the year: the harvest, carried out entirely by hand. As in the past the bunches are detached, placed in baskets and, thanks to the proximity to the cellar, quickly started to the subsequent processing, which will transform the grapes into fine wines.

A minimal intervention oenological approach with vinification protocols that aim to reduce the use of sulphites, enhancing the expression of each terroir and thus allowing each wine to best express its character.

We use FSC certified cartons and PEFC and FSC certified wooden boxes – two internationally recognised certifications related to responsible forest management

We work to eliminate the use of plastic for our packaging and warehouses
