Managed as an organic farm since 1991, the farm's 72 hectares are located on the boundaries between the Etruscan townships of Sorano and Pitigliano, Grosseto Province. The area is considered hilly by altitude but actually is better described as a series of "highlands," divided by deep creeks carved into the “tufo” stone by semi-permanent watercourses.
We are at the outskirts of the Bolsena volcanic basin, and the volcanic compressed sandstone, “tufo”, is the leading element:
on ”tufo grow the vineyards,
of “tufo” are our houses made,
in “tufo” are our cellars dug,
of “tufo,” rounded by the weather, in the middle of a field, is the sassotondo, a big round stone.
Ciliegiolo, a local wine grape, has been our leading star since 1990 but we also love to experiment new "recepies" (the basic ingredients/grapes remain the same, and they are all produced on farm) and bring back old techniques in our old underground cellar.
Sassotondo's wines endeavor to communicate the power and mistery of the land they come from: the local varieties of vines combined with an unique environment, with the tufo stone that appears everywhere, make wines that are fine and elegant, naturally concentrated, sapid and spicy.
