Cascina degli Ulivi produces wines from 16 hectares of vines that have been worked using biodynamic viticultural methods since 1985. In the Bellotti family since the 1930s, the estate is now run by Stefano and his wife Zita as an organic farm, along with a restaurant and inn where practically everything served is biodynamically raised on their own. According to Stefano, “We consider that the soil is a companion organism for everything that lives. In working our vines, we foster the potential harmony of all those forces that contribute to the flow of vitality.”
