DODAS
12 in Ticino dialect

Twelve winegrowers and artisans of wine. Twelve personalities. Twelve iconic wines. One single grape variety, one deep-rooted conviction: Merlot, south of the Alps, still has a story waiting to be told.

We are winegrowers and friends, united by a shared goal: to craft wines of great depth and quality, which are authentic, expressive and that reflect both the character of our land and the individuality of each of us.

At the heart of our daily work lies viticulture, shaped by steep vineyards set on terraces, scattered across a territory of extraordinary geological diversity, nestled at the meeting point between the Mediterranean and the Alpine worlds. A rare combination, one that profoundly defines the expression and potential of our Merlot wines.

Ticino, a crossroad of culture and a land of contrasts, yet synonymous with grit, passion, and a genuine desire to live and to share. These are the values we carry in our hearts.

We, the DODAS, have a clear vision. While many look elsewhere, we choose to place the Merlot grape at the centre. Because, in this land south of the Alps, it allows to create wines of remarkable elegance and finesse, which are engaging, contemporary, and with a strong sense of identity. The wines of the future.
