CLASSIC TASTING - 4 WINES
SASSOTONDO
Experience information
This proposal allows a first approach to the production and winemaking philosophy of the sassotondo winery: a family-run business, set in an environment marked by volcanic tuff, in a powerful and mysterious Etruscan Maremma.
1. After visiting the underground wine cellar, we will explain our choices in ecological vineyard management and taste historical wines of the winery together.
2. Four wines, among the most representative ones, will be presented for tasting: the white (but not too much) Isolina, the rosé Lady Marmalade (for "decisive" young ladies), Sassotondo Rosso (our daily classic ciliegiolo), the gloomy Ombra Blu (Tuscany with an outsider).
3. You will be guided through the tasting, which will be accompanied by bread and our EVO organic oilwith monocultivar Caninese olives.
4. The winery has been certified organic since 1994 and we are part of the VolcanicWines circuit and we are members of FIVI - Independent Winegrowers.
When you come to visit us, get ready for a trip to the countryside, immersed in the nature of rural Tuscia. Everything revolves around wine and the vineyard, so we recommend comfortable clothing. Tastings are held, depending on weather conditions, under our patio or in the air-conditioned tasting room.

Discover Sassotondo: A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Maremma, Tuscany
Nestled between the tufa landscapes of Pitigliano and Sovana lies Sassotondo, a winery that blends history, tradition, and a passion for winemaking. Established in 1990 by Edoardo Ventimiglia and Carla Benini, Sassotondo is more than just a winery—it's the realization of a dream. Leaving urban life behind to embrace agriculture, the couple transformed 72 hectares of neglected land into a flourishing organic vineyard, now renowned for its artisanal wines and deep respect for the environment.
