Just 1 km from the historic center of Volterra, Terre de' Pepi boasts 3 hectares of meticulously maintained vineyards. Here, 2 hectares are dedicated to red grape varieties such as Sangiovese, Montepulciano, Ciliegiolo, and Colorino, while 1 hectare is reserved for the aromatic Vermentino, used in crafting exquisite white wines. The estate enjoys a southwest-facing slope that overlooks the sea, and its clay-rich soil, enriched with natural stone deposits, creates the perfect environment for producing high-quality wines.
The first hectare of vines was planted in 2007, following extensive research by Francesco, whose university thesis at the University of Pisa examined the impact of pre-planting agricultural techniques on soil fertility. This academic foundation has shaped Terre de' Pepi's commitment to sustainable viticulture, blending traditional methods with modern science.
Terre de' Pepi is dedicated to organic vineyard management, avoiding synthetic chemicals and mineral fertilizers. Instead, the estate employs green manure techniques, incorporating legumes and grasses into the soil to naturally enhance fertility. This approach fosters a unique growth cycle and distinctive production yields, setting Terre de' Pepi apart from conventional vineyards. The commitment to soil health and sustainability is reflected in the exceptional quality of the wines produced here.

A beautiful place underneath the Voltera city, right next to the road. Not hard to find if you look down from Voltera. Unfortunately we were given a false adress & the naviagtion got us lost, but with the help of our beautiful host Raffaela, who was also giving us the exceptional tour of the winery and the wine tasting experience, we found it in no time. So my advice is to call the host to be on the safe side. But lets talk about the experience of wine (and food which was amazing - we forgot to tell that there are Vegans among us but the Host adjusted in no time so everybody was covered!!! Thank you again Raffaella)…what to say about wine…perfect balance of taste and smell…the white VERMENTINO was delicious light, fruty & aromatic going well with the cheese (pecorino,…)…and than the red - SANGIOVESE…wow…genuine, pure, inocent, fruty-wild berries, a class natural wine…a beauiful expirience that we will not forget soon…HIGHLY RECOMMEND
