Ottomani was born in 2006 as a four friends’ project, who decided to start their own venture after graduating in oenology at the University of Florence and following different job experiences in important wineries in the area. Slowly, but steadily, we set up a little farm for the production of our wine and olive oil. Working with autochthonous varieties only and using biological-biodynamical techniques of cultivation and winemaking, we decided, from the beginning, not to use any chemical, preferring to work exclusively with agronomical methods which are sustainable for the environment.
